Come see us today at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds for the Girl Scouts - Dakota Horizons Big Event. Learn about rocket propulsion and have the kids build your own stomp rocket! Hope to see you there! #stemeducation #fmsmevents
Image of the Big event logo with text Believe In Girls. Image below is a poster about rocket propulsion. Drag, Gravity and Thrust next to a rocket image. Text: Basic principle of rocket propulsion is Newton’s Third Law Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of rockets, the ACTION is the PROPELLANT being blasted DOWNWARD, and the resulting REACTION is the ROCKET being blasted UPWARD.
