rockets (aeronautics)

"The only thing Rosalind Ling Geraghty loves more than watching NASA launches with her dad is building rockets with him. When he dies unexpectedly, all Ro has left of him is an unfinished model rocket they had been working on together. Benjamin Burns doesn't like science, but he can't get enough of Spacebound, a popular comic book series. When he finds a sketch that suggests that his dad created the comics, he's thrilled. Too bad his dad walked out years ago, and Benji has no way to contact him. Though Ro and Benji were only supposed to be science class partners, the pair become unlikely friends: Benji helps Ro finish her rocket, and Ro figures out a way to reunite Benji and his dad. But Benji hesitates, which infuriates Ro. Doesn't he realize how much Ro wishes she could be in his place? As the two face bullying, grief, and their own differences, Benji and Ro must try to piece together clues to some of the biggest questions in the universe"--Provided by the publisher.

"Step into the story and join Carmen Sandiego on an . . . adventure around the globe! You are an engineer at a cutting-edge rocketry facility, working on a prototype for a high-speed personal jetpack. What you don't know is that your jetpack has been commissioned by VILE and has the potential to be the ultimate theiving tool. When Carmen Sandiego swoops in to steal the jetpack, you have a choice to make. Will you protect your prototype? Or will you help Carmen in order to keep this dangerous device out of VILE's grasp?"--Back cover.

Students will learn how rockets break away from Earth's powerful gravitational pull and they will also read about reentry into Earth's atmosphere and how safe landings are accomplished.

Readers will go on a journey through some of the most exciting discoveries and achievements made by scientists.

"Dot is at the Creative Fair, where everyone's excited about making fizz-powered rockets. 'Make your rocket ship your own!' says Dot's mom. Dot is keen on making the fastest rocket of them all, with no decorations to weigh it down. When it's time for liftoff, Dot's rocket soars out of sight, while Ruby's snows down glitter, Nev and Dev's sprays out shaving cream, and Hal's makes a huge noise. Everyone's rockets are totally different, and it turns out they're all the best!"--Provided by publisher.
