Upcoming NASA-JPL Educator Workshop

Rocketry and Flight – Educator Workshop When: Saturday, Feb. 1, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California Audience: Educators for grades 4-12 Overview: Get students using the engineering design process to investigate the principles of flight and the upcoming launch of NASA's next Mars rover in this workshop from NASA-JPL Education. Participants will use concepts and practices from the Next Generation Science Standards, or NGSS, such as scale and modeling, to build rocket prototypes, revise their designs and launch stomp rockets. Plus, take home standards-aligned activities and lessons to use all year long. › Register online 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. Questions? Call the Educator Resource Center at 818-393-5917. Can't attend the workshop?

Lesson: Heavy Lifting (Grades 3-8) – Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling. Lesson: Soda-Straw Rockets (Grades 4-8) – Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws. Lesson: Stomp Rockets (Grades 4-9) – In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs. This free workshop is offered through the NASA/JPL Educator Resource Center, which provides formal and informal educators with NASA resources and materials that support STEM learning.
