by ELLIOT HALL
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 over building rockets, launch/data observation, and finally written understanding of Newton's laws in action on rockets.
