How does lighting up a rocket engine cause a rocket to "take off"? In your group, come up with a written explanation (bonus - explain using all three of Newton's laws!)
Is this similar to what happens if we fill a 2L bottle with dry ice and put a stopper on it?
Can you explain why the stopper and bottle have such different velocities?
and what was that all about when we launched them vertically (with a bit of H2O)?
Now let's investigate this whole matter of explosions (and in reverse - collisions) a bit more in ADAPTIVE CURRICULUM
Do the collisions and explosions activity

If you finish early, you can search for the IMPULSE animation, or just start working on the upcoming cart activity...
We did some mathemagical stuph with Newton's second
F=ma ---> F∆t=m∆v
and we discussed car safety technology and other applications of this impulse-momentum equality...
