Description
YEL DESTINATION MARS: ROCKETRY COURSE
For students entering 2nd-5th grade
Launch and watch your very own rocket speed 300 feet into the air! Then it is yours to take home! Students will make and take home multiple rockets of varying difficulty throughout this session. We will use these rockets and airplanes to investigate basic aeronautical concepts including: propulsion, thrust, lift, drag and more. We will also hypothesize about travel in outer space, how to get a United States astronaut to Mars and life on Mars. Do you have the right stuff? Please visit YouthEnrichmentLeague.com for more information.
NOTE: Parents will be asked to contribute two, 2 liter soda bottles (empty) for 2 different experiments.
