Space Club - Water Bottle Rocket Launching

 
Teacher post: Our special guest and physics expert, Mr. Juan, helped us learn about Newton's Three Laws of Motion and apply them to rocket launches. Meaningful and engaging learning...fun, fun!
Determining the proportions of fuel (fractions lesson): baking soda and vinegar.

Using altitude trackers and calculators to determine the height of  each launch, the highest being 12 meters!

Physics lesson: Which will land on the ground first when dropped from the same height, the basketball or the tennis ball...and why?

Understanding the relationship between gravity and launching spacecrafts into space; with the basketball being the earth, the sheet being gravity, and the tennis ball being the rocket.
