Blast Off: Generating Rocket Thrust with Propellants - Lesson

Rockets need a lot of thrust to get into space. Students learn how rocket thrust is generated with propellant. The two types of propellants are discussed—liquid and solid—and their relation to their use on rockets is investigated. Students learn why engineers need to know the different properties of propellants by drawing real world examples from the associated activities.
