Students investigate science and math by building a rocket. In this geometry instructional activity, students build a rocket using paper towel tubes while investigating questions about launching a rocket. They discuss balance and unique...

Students describe how temperature and surface area exposure affect the rate at which fuel is consumed. They explain why engineers want to know about the properties of a fuel when designing rockets. They create a bar graph of result data.

Students practice stepping and jumping, using specified foot action, in rhythm. In groups, they practice jumping onto stomp rocket launchers and demonstrate how to increase the distance by raising the angle of the launcher. After each...

Students explore physics by participating in an engineering activity. In this rocket lesson, students define a list of scientific vocabulary terms such as "re-engineering" and "trade-off." Students identify the rocket creation process by...

Students shoot off a rocket and measure the trig ratios relation. In this geometry lesson, students practice using an inclinometer to figure out how high their rockets fly. They measure angles and height and relate it to gravity and...
