Newton's Rockets Part 3

Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy

Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.

Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students
