Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Acceleration, velocity, mass, and gravity all play a role in the motion of a rocket. Young scientists explore the connection among these components using an interactive tutorial. They adjust the mass and thrust force to experiment with the motion of the rocket. Graphs display the acceleration and altitude of the rocket throughout its path.
