How Do Rockets Fly? | Let's Explore Mars! | SciShow Kids

Rockets are super amazing, but how do we get something that weighs as much as 100 elephants all the way into space?
Disciplinary Core Idea:
PS2.A: Forces and Motion - Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion (3-PS2-1).
Performance Expectation:
3-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object
