This week was all about preparation. We had to prepare the students for their adventure into building a bigger more powerful rocket. These types of rockets have more parts to deal with, less instructions, and greater potential for dangerous situations. We had the students pull out all of the parts and accurately label each one to make sure we had everything we needed. In addition, this gave them some familiarity with the different vocabulary and an idea of each parts functionality. After that, we had each student read a step of the instructions and had the entire class attempt to pull out the necessary parts and simulate what would be done. This class didn't have the excitement of launching a rocket but was extremely necessary for the weeks to come.
