books literature develop creativity problem solving skills of students using model rocketry developing a child s problem-solving and design skills takes on additional excitement when combined with model rocketry this easy to use step-by-step booklet teaches the approaches used by creative people to solve any problem your students will quickly find new and creative ways to solve a variety of fun and open-ended rocket example problems the end result is the construction and launch of their own rockets adapt these techniques for almost any grade level how to conduct a classroom launch for maximum educational value launch your rockets the way nasa launches the space shuttle no matter what aspect you may be teaching about model rocketry you need this educational guidebook it shows how to conduct the launch of a completed rocket kit in an exciting and safe manner includes five activity sheets and three launch forms that can yield massive amounts of data to be analyzed after the launch adaptable to any grade level actual customer comment i have to say that i ve never gotten better service from anyone than apogee components i ve made several orders with you and the service has always been terrific i have given my extra catalogs to my rocket flying friends and i hope they will use apogee too in a time when non-hpr supplies are limited and sources good ones anyway few apogee is a bright spot dave mcgraw developing creativity written by timothy s van milligan conducting a safe scientific launch written by timothy s van milligan p/n 01001 $5.95 p/n 01003 $7.95 electronic model rocket launcher construction plans save money by building your own rocket launcher system and learn the basics of electric circuitry this booklet gives nine different electronic launch controller plans of varying levels of features construction complexity and safety benefits it shows everything from a simple inexpensive controller to a multi-pad system to how to launch rockets together or sequentially all the parts for these controllers can be found at your local radio shack store makes for great classroom projects written by tony wayne p/n 01023 $12.95 rocket grading criteria learn how to assess a student s performance in rocketry units a set of student goals the grades are assigned on the performance of 23 different construction and launch criteria each criteria is distinct and easily identifiable concise and flexible enough to be used with any rocketry curriculum like model rocket propulsion p 16 written by timothy s van milligan give your students more feedback on how well they are doing with this guidebook it takes the guesswork and subjectivity out of assigning a classroom grade to your student s performance in the study of rocketry and can be used to provide p/n
