Grades 2-5

Launch and watch your very own rocket speed 300 feet into the air! Then it is yours to take home! Students will make and take home multiple rockets of varying difficulty throughout this session. We will use these rockets and airplanes to investigate basic aeronautical concepts, including propulsion, thrust, lift, drag, and more. We will also hypothesize about travel in outer space, how to get a United States astronaut to Mars, and life on Mars. Do you have the right stuff?
NOTE: Parents will be asked to contribute two 2-liter soda bottles (empty) for two different experiments. Tuition includes $25 materials fee.
