This is the common bottle size students use to make pop bottle rockets
Two Liters
What nation sent the first person into space?
Russia
This is the equation for Newton's second law.
F=ma
These are the nose cone, body and fins.
This was our first unit of study in Science 6.
Minnesota Geology
The point at which weight is evenly dispersed and all sides are in balance.
Center of Mass or Gravity
The first form of a rocket is believed to have been developed in this country.
China
The law that states for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Newton's 3rd Law
This is the force of wind or air resistance pushing in the opposite direction to the motion of the object.
Drag
These are explanations for what one observes.
Inferences
The point where half of the surface area of a rocket is on one side and half is on the other (where the aerodynamic forces are equal)
Center of Pressure
While not the first animal to reach space, this dog was the first to orbit Earth.
Laika
This is the name for the variable that one changes in an experiment.
Manipulated Variable.
This is the force used to push something that propels an object in a direction.
Thrust
These form on land in areas where more snow falls than melts.
Glaciers
This is a rocket's end that releases water and air to produce thrust.
The Nozzle
In the first century A.D., this was the substance the Chinese used in their bamboo tube rockets.
Gunpowder
These are the types of variables that remain the same in an experiment.
Controlled Variables
This is what we call a rocket whose shape reduces the resistance from air moving past it.
Aerodynamic
This is the first lab we conducted in Science 6.
The Candle Inquiry Lab
This causes the rockets to fall back down to the ground.
Gravity
What Greek philosopher built and flew the first rocket?
Archytas
These are data points that are far from other data points and can distort statistical results.

This is the change in motion which can be speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
