| Details | With the launch of the Artemis missions, student interest in rocketry and space exploration is steadily growing. Looking for curricular connections to rocketry but aren’t sure where to begin? Join educators from the National Air and Space Museum to explore a variety of ways to use rocketry to teach your students about forces and motion. Participants will explore the How Things Fly website, learn about rocketry activities for a variety of grade and skill levels, and build their own simple straw rocket. Leave with ready-to-use activities and resources and suggestions for scalability and adding technology. If you'd like to build a straw rocket with us, bring the following: - Drinking straws (disposable or reusable are great)
- Paper (post-its work very well)
- Tape
- [Optional] Pipe cleaners, clay, stickers, paperclips, pens or other things to add weight, dimension, and decoration
