IT’S ROCKET SCIENCE

One hour

$6 per student

It's Rocket Science features the dynamics of flight. Students are recruited to demonstrate the principles  of flight as developed by the Wright brothers, the four forces of flight, Bernoulli’s Principle, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion. After a brief presentation on rocketry, each student designs and builds a paper rocket. The rockets are then launched and propelled by means of a pressurized launcher  through a designated target. With each attempt, students apply concepts of motion, trajectory and stability in refining optimal designs.

 

For Middle and High School Students  

THE B-26 ASSEMBLY TEAM PROJECT

Three and a half hours  (includes Museum tour and time for lunches students bring with them)    

$10 per student

Participants will assume the roles of aviation experts involved in an effort to restore the remains of the B-26 Marauder “Lady Kate”, their jobs mirroring the original B-26 assembly workforce in Tool Crib, Sub-Assembly, Transportation, Platform Assembly, and Final Assembly. This STEM exercise will incorporate World War II history setting the story of the aircraft, Geography setting the locations the aircraft flew, and Economics setting the tone of World War II homefront workers. Pre-visit preparation of students as instructed by this program’s Teacher Manual is required prior to students participating in the program.
