Rockets

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

This lesson uses Sphero's "Rocket Payload" activity with the Outer Space Mat. The full lesson includes information on rocket payload, a Sphero coding challenge, a NASA link to read, optional questions

In this lesson, students will understand how Katherine Johnson’s courage and actions impacted flight to space and changed the world, including racial segregation. Through a hands-on learning

Students will create a space company and work collaboratively with their team to design, test, build, and revise a rocket. Lesson materials and worksheets are usable for all types of rockets, with

Students will learn about the history of rocketry and the science behind it. They will launch rockets using pressure for propulsion, as well as model rockets with engines.

Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by launching rockets of varying weights and observing the resulting flight distances. Gather numerical data on the flight distances of the rockets and

Students will: Construct a pool noodle rocket flinger using provided materials, demonstrating an understanding of the design principles involved. Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by

In this lesson, students build and launch their own rockets. They then analyze and explain the motion of the rocket using the cause-mechanism-effect framework.

During this activity students will build a payload rocket from pieces. After building the rocket, students will use the EDP to create a cargo carrier that holds an egg. This is placed in the rocket
