Rocket Science Part.1: Fuel Your Design
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.

This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After
This multi-day activity is designed for introductory 5th grade STEM after school club. On Day 1, each student will build and test a simple straw rocket following the teacher’s instructions. Students
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
