Model rocket

I recently observed Joanne Bateman teach her students about the Earth’s and moon’s rotation, the complexity of space travel, and the engineering design process in a lesson about rockets. Students had to build model rockets that could land on a spinning model moon. Students were placed in cooperative groups of two to four students for this engineering activity. For this clinical supervision process, I used the Framework for Teaching form F for pre- and post-conferences and form G for the formal observation summary. These forms analyzed areas of planning and preparation, the classroom environment, and the instruction. They also help the teacher to reflect on instructional goals, differentiation, engaging students in their learning, and the success of the lesson. I used this to provide the teacher with feedback in order to improve instruction, the area she is working on for her individualized professional development plan. During the pre-conference, I learned that Joanne specifically wanted me to observe her level of questions using Bloom’s taxonomy. I decided that during the observation, I would use a categorical frequency observation technique, in addition to the forms specified above, to provide her with this information. I also learned that this observation would take place in a third grade STEM classroom setting. The lesson related to…

A Rocket is a projectile that can operate on it's own without oxygen by the combustion of it's contents. Rockets are particularly interesting because it has transported mankind where they have never been before. That is why this project is on Rocketry, but with small scale rockets. The purpose of this project is to see if a homemade Baking Soda Rocket can equal the endurance and/or the height of a Hobbytown Rocket. Though it is important to know the history of rockets and how they function, and…

resources by excavating asteroids, which creates new jobs and markets, in turn strengthening industries. According to Chris Lewiki, the president of Planetary Resources, “[The company’s] mission is to mine nearby asteroids for precious platinum group metals and rocket fuels in order to expand the human economy” (Planetary). Mining for platinum group metals, highly valuable commodities due to their extreme rarity, will be the impetus for innovation in catalytic converters, cancer treatments,…

Congreve's rocket have appeared in historical literature in the song “Star spangled banner” These rockets he built are ancient compared to the one we have now a days. Bwhen rockets were put to the test, a lot of people proved that the rocket didn’t work. But congreve responded by taking out both indian and british helpful hints to the rocket system but he did it in secret which mean without their knowledge. So there helpful hints he got the credit for. In 1804 Congreve was studying old rockets.…

Hobbytown Rocket V.S. Chemistry Rocket Research Paper A Rocket is a projectile that can operate on it's own without oxygen by the combustion of it's contents. Rockets are particularly interesting because it has transported mankind where they have never been before. That is why this project is on Rocketry, but with small scale rockets. The purpose of this project is to see if a homemade Chemistry Rocket, fuel made of baking soda and vinegar, can equal the endurance and/or the height of a…

(SS2) with the intention to use this vehicle as a reusable suborbital rocket. This aircraft and test involved another experimental aircraft, the WhiteKnight Two (WK2) with both of these aircrafts being used in this test. The ultimate goal was for these aircraft to be used in conjunction by Virgin Galactic to allow for civilians to buy passage for a space/suborbital flight. This particular flight did involve the loss of the test aircraft as well as one serious injury and one death. The…

I needed to build a water rocket that would be aerodynamic, light, and have the ability to glide down to elongate flight time. I started out researching different bottle rocket designs to find what would work best. While researching, I found that having a slimmer bottle on top of the base bottle, versus having two regular sized soda bottles would be more aerodynamic and would allow me to give the rocket a more “bullet” shaped body. When looking at fins, those with larger fins worked more…

bottle rockets can be controlled by a multitude of factors. To understand these factors, mathematics can show us how they interact and how they affect performance. Water Bottle Rockets are mainly used for educational purposes in schools. They are used to explore basic aerodynamics and physics. Water rockets demonstrate many different forces such as weight, thrust, lift, and drag. Basic parts of a common bottle rocket include a nose cone, fins, a base, and a launcher used to launch the rocket. …

Law is using ase reference for operation of rocket motor Based of the law, every action has feedback reaction that has same in magnitude but different in direction. The exhaust is formed entirely from propellants carried within the rocket before it isuse in every rockets and rocket engines work by action and reaction.This rocket engines push rockets forwards simply by throwing their exhaust backwards extremely fast.Application of rockets can be use as weaponary, rescue mission, launch vehicle,…

Wernher was a hands-on learner and liked to test new theories. Henry Ford was a role model for Wernher, causing him to put together a car of his own. Having this experience helped him decide he wanted to build rockets. At Wernher’s boarding school, he began working with fireworks and dangerous chemicals to test different things out. One of Wernher’s teachers remembers the first rocket experiment that blew up on Wernher’s face because he would not listen when she said the ratio of acetylene and…
