Rockets

Engage your young learners in an exciting journey through the world of STEM with our "Balloon Rocket Race" lesson! Designed specifically for 1st-grade students, this interactive and hands-on lesson

This engaging lesson is a great introduction for space exploration units. This plan goes over the history of rockets, how they work, and how modern rockets help us explore the solar system. There are

This lesson focuses on teaching 4th-grade students the fundamental concepts of force and motion through the hands-on activity of designing, constructing, and launching paper rockets. The lesson

In this lesson, students will explore the forces of flight in rockets. They will construct a rocket using straws, clay, and index cards. Students will then use a launcher to launch their rockets and

Part 4! Students take all that they have learned from all the parts along with observations of their rocket launch to create a detailed google slides presentation!

Part 3 of the Unit. Students launch their rockets and record observations along with altitude data!

In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the

In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rocket to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and

In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and are provided time to modify their design in order to increase the
