October Sky

While the 6th graders were testing, we watched a movie called October Sky. The movie was about four boys that want to build a rocket. The movie shows how they overcame obstacles to follow a dream. One major obstacle was how to build the rocket. There were many different ways they tried to make them and the boys did not give up unntil they found the right combination of materials to make the rocket fly high. This connects to science because in order to make the rocket fly, they had to put together parts and use chemicals. This can connect to ccharacter ed because the boys were determined to follow their dream.
