In our class, we will begin by discussing what is a space shuttle and a rocket, who can launch them, and watch a quick video of the Space X rocket launch. We will discuss this important background information about a rocket with the support of photos, slides, and a short video clip of a launch. After our background presentation, learners will be guided with step by step support on how to assembly their own rocket launcher and draw their own rocket with supplies from around your home. Together we will discuss, create, and launch a rocket into orbit! I strive to create an active, engaging, and safe environment in each class. Come create and enjoy the final frontier with me!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents are asked to support in the construction of the rocket launcher due to cutting materials, sealing the bottle for leaks, and piercing through tape with a sharp object.
Supply List
Supplies for creating your own rocket/ space ship include: -bottle you can squeeze- plastic milk jug, water bottle, soda bottle, chip canister (please keep the lids for your container) -two straws (two different size straws.
