And some possibly helpful discussion threads on ask an expert forum:

Hey,

Can you offer anymore specifics? Will the source of launch be provided, and you just need to make the bottle rocket and parachutes?

Or does it have to be self-propelling?

What is the purpose, to have it fly as high as possible, or as long as possible?
