rocketry resources for kids

Start here:

Many of these are updated from older material, but still the best 'one stop' resource for this.

I've been looking, myself, for a good reference site that has some more updated information, some computer graphics, as well as launch videos.

Let me know what you come up with, so I can add stuff to my youth talk handout. it has several URLs that you may want to reference, but books (and one obvious movie) would be good additions.

Jonathan,

I sent you a private email inviting you to check out our free paper rocket kit downloads at

I also wanted to point out that we will be announcing a book that we will begin to carry called "I am a Space Shuttle. I love to fly", written by Becky Cross.

This book is aimed at younger readers (age 4 and up) and for parents to read to their children. It is written in the form of poetry and carries the reader through the Space Shuttle reconditioning that occures between missions from landing to launch.

It is an incredible story book with incredible images. You can read more about the book at Perspective Books (publisher) at:

This book is available from Perspective Books for $18.95. You can go to Perspective books to see how you can get one with the signatures of the complete 5 member Space Shuttle crew of STS-29.

have fun! jim

grades. Any

Also, a smaller, more education-oriented list here:

I will definitely be including some links to model rocketry sites, but I would also like to include a number of links (and books) about "real" rockets. Your "NASA etc" list is a good start on this.

We are doing this presentation as part of the Space Day the local university's Space Exploration and Development Society's student organization is holding on April 16. So while we want to mention model rocketry and how the kids can involved now, we also want to focus on "real" rockets and space exploration.

Don't forget the NASA site for model rockets...

and while we're on it... In the 8th grade or so... (many many moons ago...!!!) I stumbled on a book in the school library...

Stines "Handbook of Model Rocketry"...

I know you've heard of this one...LOL Really... after I found it, I have been stary-eyed since... Although that was the first addition then ... I've recently purchsed the 6th edition... now there is a seventh.. Woo Hoo...!!!
