Building Rockets!

OPENING QUESTION:

What is Newton's 3rd the way we were (most likely taught)? Please turn to a person in your group and relate that to them.

Now turn to someone else and tell the (long version) of the Wolgemuthian version.

Now please write down the Wolgemuthian (short version)

How does that explain how a rocket moves through space?

LEARNING GOAL FOR TODAY: I will begin woring on my rocket building tutorial during today's class.

WORDS O' THE DAY:

Newton's 3rd Law: For every force exerted on an object, there is a separate but equal and opposite force exerted on a second object.

Newton's 3rd Law: Forces come in pairs

Newton's 3rd Law: Noun1 Verb Noun2 then Noun2 Verb Noun1

WORK O' THE DAY:

Rockets seem to be deceptively simple: Fuel is ignited and the rocket *should* move upward.

Why is it, then, that rockets are so difficult to construct AND maneuver.

═══════════════════════════

Please make a full scale drawing of a model rocket that you will build using materials on the side table.

There are a number of bits and pieces that won't make much sense at first.

Your job today is to get an initial idea of how you'll put that rocket together.

Please work with your team and keep your chromies *closed*
