My Project

8th-grade science project combining force and astronomy. In this project, students will investigate the principles of force and motion by exploring how rockets travel through space. Students will design and construct a rocket and solar system model using clay, plastic bottles, and popsicle sticks. Students will keep an interactive science notebook to track their learning experience. At the project's culmination, students will present their findings, including the design and construction of their rocket. They will analyze and collect data and record them in their science notebook. Overall this project provides an exciting and educational exploration of force and motion in the context of space exploration.
