Rockets

Launch into a fun activity! Students will be building a rocket, then blow into the straw inserted and watch how high their rocket flies. This fun activity can be done indoor or outdoor. Students can

This lesson plan is part 1 of 4. This lesson focuses on how Newton's Laws apply to rocket launches as well as what forces are present at three different stages of launch. Additional lessons will be

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build

Nothing in space stands still. Everything either orbits around something else, or moves toward or away from something else. So how do space engineers aim a spacecraft so it lands on Mars or meets up

Students use the engineering design process to create paper rocket protoypes and complete a cost-benefit analysis to help choose the best one.

Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle math!

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
