Science was one of the most fun and engaging class in 6th grade. My favorite part was when we learned about rockets, how they work and launching them.
We learned about all the parts including the most important; the nose cone that lets the rocket have less resistance going up high.
How the rocket works is the cone giving it aerodynamics, the fins keeping it parallel, and the engine giving it thrust.
i also learned that the moon has 16% gravity of the earth
