1. Star Wheel
Learn more about the night sky! In this activity we will use a Star Wheel to identify objects in the night sky.
2. Rockets
Alka Seltzer Rocket Building
Watch Mr. Jones’s YouTube video to learn how to build and launch your rockets and see a bunch of real time and slow motion launches. Then build your rockets, launch them outside with your safety glasses on and upload a short video to FlipGrid using the link below.
For more information check out the two links below with great videos: The first link shows the rockets being used on an ABC news program. It also provides specific written directions, if needed. The second link shows a massive amount of them going off at once on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (fast forward to the 4 minute mark if you don’t want to see the other cool science experiments right before the big launch).
Videos or pictures could also be emailed to Mr. Jones at [email protected].
