4th Grade: Force and Motion with Paper Rockets
by Huda Clemens
This lesson focuses on teaching 4th-grade students the fundamental concepts of force and motion through the hands-on activity of designing, constructing, and launching paper rockets. The lesson integrates key science and math standards, encouraging students to explore how different forces affect the motion of objects and to apply their understanding by measuring and analyzing the flight of their rockets.
