Recently, it becomes a serious problem in some advanced nations that students lose interest in science. For this problem, Tsuyama National College of Technology has organized extension courses and exhibitions which provide opportunities to perceive the interest of science and technology for schoolchildren and junior high school students. Especially, Department of Mechanical Engineering has provided production guidance for robots, solar cars, and wind cars. In this report, we deal with a model rocket as a new teaching material. The model rocket is well known as safe superior science teaching materials all over the world if handled according to the rule for the model rocket. In addition, because a model rocket’s flight is based on the same theory as a genuine rocket, a model rocket is the best teaching material to encourageinterest in science. Therefore, we prepared the new teaching material which used handmade model rocket and two types of model rocket kits in 2006. The present report outlines the extension courses which used model rockets as teaching material and shows the result of questionnaire survey acquired from the participants.
