This is a nice STEM activity, with clear instructions on how to make a pop rocket. My students would enjoy this book!

A great lesson, that looks and sounds more fun, than it sounds like school. The author does a great job of explaining all the “moving” parts that make rockets work, and how those parts are replicated in the experiment. The author does not shy away from scientific terms, explains them as the project progresses, and make sure to include safety. A great book for all library non-fiction science collections.

Thanks to Norwood House Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to utilize my laboratory teaching!

Great history and introduction to rockets. Wow! chemistry aligns with a number of State Standards today. Also interpretation of concepts (such as Laws of Motion) is excellent!

I would say that grades 3 and up would benefit and enjoy this exercise !

There was a lot more information in this book than I expected. Makes for a cool experiment and offers kids a chance to learn about actual rockets!
