These rocket kits will help students understand the physics of launching a rocket into space. They will give them a chance to gather data such as direction and altitude as well as troubleshooting problems that go along with any engineering design. Building and launching rockets will motivate students to engage with the science content in a fun and exciting way. This will be an end of the year project that will incorporate what the students have learned about physics and space along the way and celebrate them "launching" themselves to high school!
