Students examine the significance of the International Space Station. They view and discuss photos of rockets, space shuttles, and the International Space Station, develop a graph of objects in the sky, and create drawings.

Ninth graders create PowerPoint presentations to present Newton's three laws of motion, and make and launch rockets.

Learners construct a rocket using soda straw. In this physics lesson, students determine the nose cone length that produces the best rocket. They explain the importance of using a control in an experiment.

Students make a baking soda rocket out of vinegar, baking soda, and a soda bottle. For this rockets lesson plan, students discuss the liquid, solid, and gas combination.

Students collect data of balloons of different sizes to see which one travels the furthest when shot into the air to represent a rocket. In this rocket lesson plan, students write about which balloon traveled the furthest and why.

In this space puzzle, students identify names of spacecraft, planets, and items placed in space. A list of 18 words are provided for students to identify.

Students are introduced to the basic parts of rockets and the physical forces at work in the flight of rockets. They build and launch a model rocket and discuss the challenges of launching a real rocket.

Students discover the entire process that goes into designing a rocket for any customer. They study important factors such as supplies, ethics, deadlines and budgets. Also, students explore about the Engineering process, and recognize...

Students practice completing number sentences. They cut out shapes of rockets and place a number on them. They work together to identify the numbers.

Students create their own paper rockets. They identify different patterns and practice making their own. They also discover the concept of sequences.

Young scholars work together to design and build a paper rocket. They place a propellant in the contraption to make it fly. They discover Newton's third law of motion.

Students, in groups, build and decorate rocket kits and then launch them.
