Nothing gets students involved in STEM like hands on experiments. And what could be better than building your own rockets!
While rocketry congers up images of dangerous chemicals and impossible insurance requirements, your students can explore rocketry with nothing more than water or compressed air.
Engaging your students with rockets and space travel can open the door to instruction in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and even history.
Check out the Fly Rockets and the National Association of Rocketry lists of local clubs, and invite a nearby club to come to your school to demonstrate and talk about rockets.
