Have you ever been reading and studying about something and just want to see it in action? Well this is what I would love to bring to my students. I want them to be able to construct and launch these model rockets to see how all of the different forces that we are learning about affect each other.
I just love being able to let my students explore with their hands and minds to create and learn.
I feel like it really makes for a more meaningful lesson and they remember this for many years after they are done with my class.
