Destination Mars: Rocketry Course (entering gr. 2-5)

Launch and watch your very own rocket speed 300 feet into the air. Then it’s yours to take home. Make and take home multiple rockets of varying difficulty throughout the session. These rockets and airplanes will then be used to investigate basic aeronautical concepts including propulsion, thrust, lift, drag and more. We will hypothesize about travel in outer space, like how to get a United States astronaut to Mars and life on Mars. Do you have the right stuff? Please bring two, 2-liter empty bottles for use in experiments.
