  1. Learning Objectives • To identify the force used • To describe how the force can be adjusted • To create a rocket and launch mouse Open Systems and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

  2. Starter What do you think we can do with this?

  3. Rocket Mice • We are going to create rocket mice

  4. What forces are used? • THRUST? • WEIGHT? • LIFT? • DRAG?

  5. What forces are used? THRUST You will create the thrust by squashing the milk carton to release the air up through the top and launch the mouse

  6. What forces are used? WEIGHT The weight of the paper used will affect the height as well as any decorations Can you test this?

  7. What forces are used? LIFT The mouse is launched up into the air How will you measure the height?

  8. What forces are used? DRAG As the rocket is launched the air resistance will drag the rocket back down so the thrust has to be powerful enough to launch through this

  9. Your Turn • Look at the handout and create your own mouse – remember to make it clear it is yours • Test your mouse a few times to see what works • Predict how high you think it will go? • Launch your mouse into (not quite space) but the space above the milk carton !!

  10. Plenary - What heights did you achieve? Right click on chart and select ‘edit data’ add in each groups top height in cm
