Are you ready to go on a Journey
to Mars? Join NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Office of Education for an educator professional development
workshop on Rocketry. Through hands-on
experiments and physical demonstrations, educators will select a mission and
learn how to design and construct a high-powered paper rocket that will
achieve the mission. Engage in hands-on, standards-aligned
mathematics, science and engineering activities as you construct a rocket,
predict its performance and its chance of mission success, fly the rocket, and
file a post-‐flight
mission report. Missions include achieving high-‐ altitude records, landing on a
“planetary” target, carrying payloads, testing a rocket recovery system, and
more. Instructions are provided for different
paper rocket construction techniques. Learn about real world connections with
NASA research and our Journey to Mars.
