They will first learn some basic facts about vehicles, rockets and why we use them. Then, the students will discover that the motion of all objects including the flight of a rocket and movement of a canoe is governed by Newton’s three laws of motion.</summary><engrConnection>
		
			
				Anytime an engineer is working on something that moves, they use Newton’s laws of motion to help describe how it is going to move. This includes cars, trains, boats, airplanes and rockets.  Really, Newton’s laws of motion govern anything that is — simply — in motion. Knowing how a vehicle will move is very important when designing a successful vehicle. And, similarly, knowing how a rocket will move is obviously very important to designing a successful rocket.  Newton’s laws dictate how much fuel is needed, how big the rocket must be, how much the rocket can weigh, how long the rocket must burn, and even how fast the rocket will go.
