| “3-2-1, blastoff!” will be the cheer as your students design and launch model rockets. Kids learn about force and motion while earning points for launching a rocket with a payload and hitting a specific target height by manipulating the rocket’s design variables. Children can replay their rocket launches in slow motion, view data, or modify the rocket and try again.Includes charts for students to track data.Can be viewed in either English or Spanish. | ||
Introduction
Rocket Factory enables students to explore the relationships among the variables in an un-directed, open-ended environment. The knowledge and understanding that students gain from Rocket Factory is applied in the second program, Cloud Chasers.
