Don’t have a field or open space to launch rockets in but still want to teach a rocketry unit? This kit is for you!
The Rocket Stability Kit is the perfect solution for giving students hands-on engineering experience without the worry of launch restrictions.
In the included lesson plan, students work in groups and assume roles such as head of engineering, program manager, and head of manufacturing.
They’ll learn concepts such as center of gravity and center of pressure and put their problem-solving skills to the test as they attempt to build a stable rocket and test it with the rocket holder.
There are 108 different rocket configurations that students can explore. The kit provides enough supplies for student groups to build 2–3 rockets so they can test their design, evaluate, and revise their designs to improve their rocket stability.
As they work through the challenge to win a NASA contract for their design, they build communication, creativity, and teamwork skills. To show the concepts they learned, students create a web page for their rocket and present their results.
