Young scholars build a model rocket. In this model rocket lesson plan, students explore a rocket launch cycle. Young scholars investigate the laws of physics for each part of the launch. Students build model rockets and launch at school.

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters.  For this airplanes lesson students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land.
