Aerospace and Rocketry
Explore the history and future of space flight and exploration in this STEM series by 4-H Science Ambassadors! We’ll try new hands-on projects and activities every week. Grades 5 – 8
Aerospace & Rocketry is a hands-on series of classes for 5th – 8th graders interested in flight and space exploration. Kids will explore the four forces of flight, Newton’s Laws, rocket propulsion, and orbital mechanics through activities like paper plane challenges, bottle rocket launches, astronaut training, and Mars rover wheel designs and more. The class covers the evolution of rockets, life in space, and how telescopes like James Webb help us understand the universe.
This program will be taught by science ambassadors from 4-H.
