How do rockets work? What does it take to get a rocket into space? Students will learn the basics of space rockets and experiment with their own paper and straw rockets in this interactive science class for 6-8-year-olds. Children will get hands-on experience in our class rocket science experiment. Students will learn the basic physics of thrust and lift. We will also cover what space is and what it takes to get a ship into space. We will learn about the Laws of Motion. We will explore the concepts we learn by building a basic paper rocket and use straws and our own breath to launch our rockets. I encourage children to fully participate in my classes. I welcome questions and comments during class. Children can usually complete the class on their own. Some younger children may need assistance with their science project. Supplies for the science experiment: 3-4 sheets of white paper Clear Tape Safety Scissors 1-2 Drinking Straws **** If you have a Special Needs child, please send me a private message. As the Mom of two special needs children, I have a lot of experience. All children are welcome in my classes.*****
