Chilton House Rocket Launch
April 17 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am EDT
The Oak Room (3s/4s) students have been immersed in a mini-unit on rockets, engaging every domain of learning:
- Literacy: Reading stories about how rockets work and learning new vocabulary such as “propulsion” and “launch”
- Math: estimating the number of feet a rocket will reach
- Science and motor skills: Using stomp rockets to understand air pressure
- Social studies: Collaboratively building a rocket (the arts) to learning about the science of rocket launching vs. the hobby of rocket launching
As a culminating experience, the Gurevich family (Archer and Theo) has generously offered to share its family tradition of rocket launching with some of our students on the turf field.
Learning in Chilton House is always a deeply immersive and powerful experience.
