Rocket Science Part.1: Fuel Your Design
This is one lesson in a two part lesson set. In this first lesson, students review balanced and unbalanced forces in preparation for how these forces apply to rockets! They will then research rocket design, design their own rocket, and build their own paper rocket to launch. The launch will be conducted in part two of the lesson set.

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are
