We at RocketEd LLC have designed a series of interchangeable model rockets to enhance STEM education. We fabricate these rockets using 3D printing and continually optimize the models and production processes for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). These rockets represent the next evolution in model rocket technology and we're excited to share them with you! The files include components for five unique, modular, reusable model rockets. To learn more about their usage, visit our website at https://gorocketed.com/meettherockets/. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Notes: We currently use Replicator-type printers to print the rockets. These objects demand careful printer calibration and quality control if they're used safely and successfully. For more details, see our website at https://gorocketed.com. We print the finned sections and motor retainer rings at 100% infill. We print the nose cone bases at 10% infill. We print the body tubes and nose cone tips with a variant of 10% infill. Our print settings eliminate the need for supports. While a raft isn't required, excellent print bed adhesion is critical for some parts. Project: Modular Model Rockets for STEM Overview & Background Model rockets can teach nearly any STEM subject out there! We've worked with educators over several years to develop curricula aligned with science standards. You can find our curricula at no charge on our website at https://gorocketed.com/curricula/. Upon completing the curricula, students will have hands-on experience with graphing, distance, speed, velocity, the scientific method, data analysis, presentation and more! We're constantly looking for ways to enhance the curricula. Objectives Students are expected to master: The scientific method Describing motion (distance, displacement, speed, velocity) Presenting and interpreting data (graphing and presentations) Building and flying model rockets safely! Audiences This project is suitable for: Children age 13 and up Early middle school through mid high school Science classrooms Summer camps Subjects With the rockets and our curricula, you cover: Math Physical science Presentation skills Skills Learned Specifically, our curricula (as of July 2016) may address: NM Science Strand I, Standard I, Benchmark I TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.18, Strand A TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.19, Strand A TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.20, Strand A TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, High School §112.38 (C1) NM Science Strand I, Standard I, Benchmark III TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.18, Strand C TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.19, Strand C TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, Middle School §112.20, Strand C TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science, High School §112.38 (C2) Common Core RST.11-12.9 TX Essential Knowledge and Skills for Math, High School §111.36 (C3) Lesson/Activity Again, all of our curricula are available at no charge on our website at https://gorocketed.com/curricula/. First, somehow get a set of these rockets Then go through the curriculum in order (starting with describing motion) This involves several lessons covering basic concepts that will be applied with an experiment involving the rockets Have students create and assemble their rockets Fly the rockets and record data Analyze and present the data Duration Just focusing on building and flying, the activity can take one hour. If teaching all our curricula, it may take around four hours or so. Preparation Students should already possess a basic understanding of math and science. Teachers will need the rockets, launch pad, launch controller, altimeter, motors. [We offer these on our website at https://gorocketed.com/shop/] Rubric, Handouts and Assessments Throughout this project several activities are assigned and completed. These handouts and assessments can be found within our curricula which you may view here. Tags MakerEdChallenge2 ScienceProject MathProject EngineeringProject RocketProject
