  1. Understanding Motion and Forces Through Rocketry author: Rachel Melogno NASA Lift Off, 2010

  2. teacher: Rachel Melogno district: LACOE school: I-Poly High School course/grade: Physics, grade 12 email: RachelMelogno@gmail.com

  3. generative question: What is most important to consider when building a space faring rocket? Using the 5E model, students will explore how rockets are launched to a specific location (destination), the requirements for planning and implementing the acquisition and use of the resources (logistics), and design considerations for scientists (safety).

  4. learning objectives (key standards): Motion and Forces #1, a, b, c, d, f, h, i, j Investigation/Experimentation #1 a, b, c, d, e, f, g, i, j, k, n

  5. assessment overview: Pre-instructional unit assessment Daily homework Students generated questions Cornell Notes Frequent quizzes Labette write-ups Lab reports Cumulative kinematics and dynamics test. Post-instructional unit assessment

  6. capstone project: Project MARS 2011 Student teams will construct water rockets and successfully launch them. Each team will be issued a budget, write a report on, and launch a rocket designed to stay in the air for the longest time possible.

  7. key lessons & activities: 21-day Instructional Case 11 group problem solving days, most of these days allot for direct instruction; roughly 65% problem solving, 35% direct instruction. 1 formal test day 9hands-on activity days; labettes, lab, capstone activity

  8. 5E inquiry activities: Labettes: Activities found in NASA Rockets Educator’s Guide (five of them worked with my IC) Lab: To Infinity and Beyond! Capstone: Project MARS 2011

  9. integrated pedagogy: PROJECT BASED LEARNING Essential Questions Group based-learning 5E Emphasis Open Ended Labs with Solid Extensions Multiple Measures for Assessment Reflection (KWLH Technique and Cornell Notes) Rubrics 21st Century Skills Emphasis

  10. NASA resources: NASA Facts sheets (such as Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster Retrieval Ships.pdf, Solid Rocket Boosters and Post-Launch Processing.pdf, etc…) Rockets, An Educator’s Guide in STEM (NASA resource): http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Rockets.html

  11. key 21st century skill integration: Top 3 Skills – Emphasis of Pedagogy Critical Thinking and Systems Thinking:Apply scientific knowledge and skills to make reasoned decisions about the use of science and scientific innovations. Problem Identification, Formulation and Solution:Plan and conduct practical tests to solve problems or answer a question, collect and analyze data using appropriate instruments and techniques safely and accurately. Accountability and Adaptability:Create a culminating team project that demonstrates content knowledge and conceptual understanding and shows connections between science content and real-world settings.
