Rockets

This is part two of a two-part lesson set. In this lesson, students will conduct test flights on their rockets, gather and analyze their flight data, and make improvements based on the results. They

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

Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the

This is the 2nd part in a 4-lesson series. This lesson is on the fins and how they work with balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will need the worksheet, the article for read and reflect, foam

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

Students will use stomp rockets to collect data. With this data they will create and analyze trends of a scatterplot.

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

Connect real world situations to the graphs of parabolas through flight. Groups will create PVC stomp rockets, collect data of their rocket's flight path and graph this path on paper to compare to
