Name something that makes a rocket more aerodynamic
Nose cone, fins, streamlined body, good weight distribution
Who is this man and what is he famous for?
Sir Isaac Newton! He is famous for his three laws of motion that explain how things move and why they move.
Choose the correct definition of the force 'thrust'
The force of gravity on your rocket
The force that keeps your rocket stable
The force that makes your rocket move through the air
The force on your rocket opposite to its movement through th
An example of Newton's first law is kicking a soccer ball: the ball will continue moving until another force acts on it. This could be the friction of the ground, the wind, or another person kicking it. True or false?
True
Choose the correct definition of the force 'weight'
The force that makes your rocket move through the air
The force of gravity on your rocket
Force on your rocket opposite to its movement through air
The force that keeps your rocket stable
Fill in the gaps of Newton's first law of motion: An object will remain at rest (not moving) or keep moving forever at the same speed and in a straight line unless there is another __________ acting on it.
drag
force
object
Thrust is a force of flight. It works in opposition to drag and weight to push your rocket into the air. What creates thrust on a real-life rocket?
Rocket engines!
What does STEM stand for?
Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths

Sausage, Tomato, Egg, Mushroom
Silly Talk Every Minute
Choose the correct definition of the force 'drag'
The force of gravity on your rocket
Force on your rocket opposite to its movement through air
The force that makes your rocket move through the air
The force that keeps your rocket stable
Fill in the gaps of Newton's second law of motion: force = mass x _______
speed
acceleration
deceleration

What is a prototype and why do engineers use them?
A prototype is a simple model that lets you test out an idea so you can make improvements

true
certain
similar
opposite
What is a variable?
Variables are things that cannot be changed
Variables are rocket fins
Variables are things that change or can be changed
Variables are how aerodynamic an object is
