Blasting off our bottlerockets!

Out of all of the lesson plans that we participated in the last couple of days, I found the Bottlerocket one to be my favorite. It was difficult to grasp the comlete process of putting the bottlerockets together because the lesson plan and activity were spilt, but I still found it to be very interesting. Although it was a little on the dangerous side if students were not careful, I found the correlating safety video to be very helpful and covered all of the materials in a very clear and understandable manner. We were lucky to have such nice weather that would allow us to participate in shooting off our rockets today. There were many fun explosions and everyone got involved and had a lot of fun! I will definitely remember this activity and maybe explore it with my future students!
