I have signed up to teach a rocket building class for the local recreation comission in October. I will have at least three kids, but no more than 12 in the class. The age range will be 10 and over. My plan is to run the class over two consecative Saturdays. The first day will be for building the second will the launch day.
It was my hope that they would have the rocket completed by the first day. But after reading some threads in TRF I think that this will be a bad idea. I remember reading that Flis did not have them complete the rocket at the class, but have them complete them at home. The fisrt class covered the basis of flight and basic building technics. After some tought I think that I will use that plan.
What I am looking for are any lessons plans that are available that I can use guidelines. I must admitt that I feel intimitated at the prospect of standing infront of a room full of kids. I fear that I might replace the Ben Stien as the yard stick to whitch all future bad teaches will be compared too.
So please give me guidance!!!
