Rocket Science Part.1: Fuel Your Design
by Elizabeth Reyes
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 design, design their own rocket, and build their own paper rocket to launch. The launch will be conducted in part two of the lesson set.
