Astronomy is an interdisciplinary and necessary science in the curriculum of Brazilian schools. As such, we have a workshop where students build and launch rockets made of low-cost materials such as PET pickups and PVC pipes. The meaningful learning (Ausubel, 1976) was the theoretical reference of this study. Therefore,, we started the work by collecting information from the students through questionnaires to create a profile about their knowledge about astronomy and, after that, we propose activities where students are able to develop skills for understanding the physical phenomena that can be observed during the launch of a rocket, such as Oblique Motion and Newton's Laws. The workshop was very positive, arousing students' interest in participating in the Brazilian Astronomy and Astronautics Olympiads and obtaining better grades in the disciplines of Science and Physics. The students also realized the importance of astronomy in the development of humanity. / Este trabalho discute aspectos do tema Astron?utica e Astronomia nas aulas de Ci?ncias e F?sica do Ensino Fundamental e M?dio em escolas p?blicas e privadas de Feira de Santana. A Astronomia ? uma ci?ncia interdisciplinar e necess?ria no curr?culo das escolas brasileiras. Sendo assim, realizamos uma oficina onde os estudantes construem e lan?am foguetes confeccionados com materiais de baixo custo, como garradas PET e tubos de PVC. A aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel (1976) foi o referencial te?rico deste estudo. Portanto, iniciamos os trabalhos coletando informa??es dos alunos atrav?s de question?rios para criar um perfil sobre o conhecimento dos mesmos sobre Astronomia e, ap?s isso, propomos atividades onde os alunos fossem capazes de desenvolver habilidades para a compreens?o dos fen?menos f?sicos que podem ser observados durante o lan?amento de um foguete, como Movimento Obl?quo e leis de Newton. A oficina mostrou-se muito positiva, despertando o interesse dos alunos a participarem das Olimp?adas Brasileira de Astronomia e Astron?utica e obtendo notas melhores nas disciplinas de Ci?ncias e F?sica. Os alunos tamb?m perceberam a import?ncia da Astronomia no desenvolvimento da humanidade.
