Rockets to the Rescue!

ROCKETS!

I love when we are teaching students STEM without them even knowing it because they are having so much fun!  Using the 4-H curriculum guide Rockets to the Rescue is an easy way to do this!  Participants are given materials to create their own rocket-but no instructions on specifics of the design.  May sound a little daunting huh?  Nope!  These kids LOVED creating their own rocket by design and were making friends with their partners that they had never met.  The final test was to see if their rocket could launch 20ft away into a hula hoop (the target).  They were given a test run and if their design didn’t seem to work they were back to the drawling table to redesign!  Interested in learning more about Rockets to the Rescue?  Contact me!
