Launching into the Laws of Motion
by Lizbeth Valera
Integrating model rocketry into the 7th-grade curriculum and Arizona Science Standard 7.P2U1.4, we aim to bring Newton’s Laws of Motion to life for students. Students design and build a rocket using a 2-liter bottle, then launch it using a water-powered rocket launcher.
