You can visit www.nar.org and www.esteseducator.com for all the actual
rocketry notes. They have excellent resources that range from beginner to
advanced, and both have resources for group education. I have
provided my kids with so much info that I'm using that reading to take the place
of the required reading for the merit. All other merit requirements will
be met as follows:
week 1 - intro to
rocketry, safety code, basic explanation of rocket motors, countdown
procedures, build an altitude tracker (ruler and protractor)
week 2 - build a level 1
rocket and review safety code
week 3 - build a level 2
rocket and review safety code
week 4 - build a
level 3 rocket and test on the safety code, countdown, & rocket
motors
week 5 - write the
200-word essay and design your own rocket on paper, finish any work
on other rockets
week 6 - build the rocket
from your design; cite 3 Scriptures about outer space
family day -- display
and launch all the rockets; use altitude trackers
I bought supplies for my outpost (I have a
small OP). from www.a2zhobbies.com/rockets.html
Their prices were the absolute best I could find.
If you have any questions, please feel free
to ask. Check out the first 2 websites for info and be ready to print a
lot! Print a copy for yourself and Xerox the notes for your kids.
