NASA/JPL Educator Workshop – Rockets and Engineering

Educator Workshop: Rockets and Engineering When: Saturday, July 28, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California Target Audience: Teachers for grades 4-12 Overview: Get students using the engineering design process to investigate the principles of flight in this educator workshop from NASA/JPL Education. Plus, take home standards-aligned activities and lessons. Participants will use Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) concepts and practices, such as scale and modeling, to build rocket prototypes, revise their designs and launch stomp rockets. This workshop is not available online; you must be physically present to participate. This workshop is limited to educators at U.S.-based institutions and organizations. › Register Online Questions?

Stomp Rockets In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs. Rockets by Size Students cut out, color and sequence paper rockets in a simple mathematics lesson on measurement. Build and Launch a Foam Rocket Students build rubber-band-powered rockets and launch them at various angles to learn about rocket stability and trajectory. Straw Rockets Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws. Rocket Activity: Heavy Lifting Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.
