Let's blast off into space with this class about rockets! Not only will we learn about rockets and the science that makes them go, we will also create and launch 3 different types of rockets using STEM activities.

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
This STEM based class is most appropriate for children ages 7-10. It will meet three times, for 45 minutes each session. During this course, we will be making and launching an Alka Seltzer Rocket, balloon rocket, and a Straw Rocket. We will think like a scientist by planning out, predicting, and observing our rockets. We will talk about the science that makes these rockets work, as well as how these science concepts are transferred to rockets that are launched by NASA. While experimenting...
This class is taught in English.
Students will demonstrate the process of science inquiry by asking questions, observing, and investigating by taking scientific notes and communicating verbally.
Homework Offered
Class time will be used to design and test our rockets. However, many children choose to spend time after class improving and testing their rockets. Additionally, learners will be given a challenge to continue experimenting with their rockets after each class. The challenges will be shared during class with learners and on our class page after each class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

Hands-on learning
The following supplies are needed to participate fully in the class. Day 1: String (about 8 feet long, kite string works best as the string has to thread through the straw), 1 straw, masking tape, balloons (2 or 3), paper, pencil, scissors Day 2: Popsicle or craft stick (the thicker one works best), Large rubber band or a few medium size ones, masking tape, 1 Straw, 3 index cards or a large piece of card stock, 1 pencil top eraser, 1 metal brad/fastener, paper, pencil, scissors Day 3: safety glasses, 4 pennies, masking tape, 4-8 Alka Seltzer tablets, water, paper, pencil, film canister or small air tight Tupperware container (This container must have a snap on lid, and can NOT have a twist on lid. Also, please NO glass containers. Please put water in the container, flip it over and be sure it does not leak. This is how you will know that it is air tight. If you do not have an air tight container, the rocket will NOT launch.) If you don't have these items at home, most can be found at your local dollar store!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
