Blast off with Sir Isaac Newton and explore his three laws of motion through rocketry activities! Investigate the aerodynamics of launch vehicles while building and launching your own rocket with our special high-powered air launchers. Guaranteed to be a BLAST! In this program, students can build either Paper or Straw Rockets:PAPER ROCKETS: require a large space (outdoors or indoors) for spectacular launches that are always a hit and have wide appeal to a range of grade levels. Students will learn about Force and Motion with demonstrations to illustrate how and why rockets fly, and an explanation of Newton’s Laws of Motion. Each student will make their own paper rocket and shoot it up to 100 ft. high with our air-powered launchers! The rocket they make is their take-home souvenir from this fun and educational experience. STRAW ROCKETS: The small-venue alternative to Paper Rockets, where students will be equally engaged in making smaller rockets from straws. Subjects: States of Matter, Newton’s Laws of Motion, Gravity, Engineering design process Grades Pre K – 9, with program elements tailored to grade level For groups of up to 30 students per session (can accommodate large groups) Single Session (90 min) allows students to build and test their rocket, and compare their results with their peers Extended Session (3 hr.) allows students to build, test, improve their rocket design by changing variables, and retest following the engineering design process. Students will also learn about how astronauts live aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Programs can be held at iSPACE or your location.
