Student Engagement

Funded Sep 5, 2020

Thank you so much for the help to fund my project.

The materials were used by my blended classes to design and build their straw rockets. The students got very excited to understand how forces affect fight of both airplanes and rockets.

Learning why aerodynamic force keep them in the air and why distribution of mass will affect whether a rocket will launch or explode during flight was very interesting to them.

The way their rockets behaved when they launched them, spinning or going off to one side or the other told them a lot about how their design worked.

We are now expanding our understanding of the Universe and our Solar system. Determining if we will find a new home out in space. The students are excited about the prospect of living on a different planet.”

With gratitude,
