Course Overview
Have you ever wondered how rockets soar so high in the air, almost as if they are powered by magic? To understand how they work, we must first understand the word “propulsion”. We will start the lesson by examining what this word sounds like and how that can help us visualize what it means. Next, we will meet Sir Issac Newton and discuss how propulsion relates to Newton’s 3rd Law: one of the most famous statements in all of physics. Lastly, we will end the lesson by finally connecting these ideas to rockets and create drawings of very own rocket designs!
