ROCKETRY - Unit Review

OPENING QUESTION: 

Please take a moment to write down each of these learning targets on a strip. One per table please:

  • Design & Build a simple rocket
  • Show how Newton's Laws relate to the motion of a rocket
  • Sketch a timeline showing how rocket design changed in the 20th century
  • Compare and contrast the Apollo program to the SpaceX program

 

LEARNING GOAL FOR TODAY: Review

WORDS O' THE DAY:

  • Force ("A push or a pull")

    Newton's 1st Law: An object will continue doing whatever it is doing unless/until it is acted on by an unbalanced force.

    Newton's 2nd Law: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

    Newton's 3rd Law: "For every force exerted by one object there is an equal and opposite force exerted by a second object." or more basically "forces always occur in pairs"

WORK O' THE DAY:

Let's review the opener

Now let's take a look HERE for a chance to share what you know and to ask questions about targets that need a wee bit more clarity!
