CYBER.ORG™ Discover Aerospace Kit

Grades 7.

Students decide to compete in the Google Lunar XPRIZE® that challenges non-government entities to safely land a rocket on the moon. To better understand the principles of a rocket, students start their process with a model-sized replica of their design in form of a water-fueled bottle rocket. In addition to concepts like drag and aerodynamics, students learn about rockets and space programs through history. Using the engineering design process as a guide, the students design, build, and test a bottle rocket that reaches a height of at least nine meters and safely lands in a designated area. This kit contains enough materials for 10 groups. Access to curricula materials can be found at http://www.cyber.org.
