It's the perfect experiment to include in an outer space or moon themed unit in your science classroom.

This resource includes:

  • teacher directions, discussion questions, and extension activities
  • background information about what rockets are and how they work
  • student directions setting up the challenge with photos
  • a student response worksheet
  • a scoring rubric
