![]() In the final fourth session, students are challenged to send a rocket as high as possible but then land it as gently as possible with the help of a parachute or droppy-copter. In the third session, they ooh and aah as simple home-made rockets soar sky high. In the first two sessions, students build parachutes and droppy-coptors to explore the concept of air resistance. There are four sessions with four cool projects that teach science and engineering ideas. You dont need to know a lot of science to lead the activities. The activities are designed to be fun and exciting, even after a full day of school. This guide is written for the afterschool setting. As they do this, they discover important things about how gravity and air resistance work. In each session, students build a simple flying thing, test it, change the design, and see what happens as a result of their changes. This guide helps afterschool instructors take students natural curiosity about flying things and turn that excitement into a learning experience. They will drop a parachute or launch a rocket over and over again. I n t r odu c t i o n 2007 by The Regents of the University of CaliforniaĬhildren naturally love to build things and watch them fly.
