Venturer Program Grades K-2 Aerospace

Build. Launch. Explore.

Students explore weather science, flight, and rocketry through three subject areas that combine building, testing, and scientific observation—sparking curiosity about the world above them.
Weather Radar Investigations

Weather Radar Investigations

Students explore weather patterns, cloud types, and precipitation through hands-on activities that build observation skills and scientific vocabulary.

Straw Glider Engineering

Straw Glider Engineering

Each student builds and tests their own straw glider, experimenting with wing shape and weight to discover what makes things fly.

Straw Rocket Launches

Straw Rocket Launches

Students design, build, and launch straw rockets, investigating force, direction, and distance through exciting trial-and-error experimentation.

Scaffolded Lesson Plans

Scaffolded Lesson Plans

Each activity includes complete facilitator guides with discussion prompts, safety notes, and assessment tools for confident program delivery.

What Students Will Do

Through ten hours of aerospace activities, students investigate weather, build flying machines, and discover the science of flight.
  • Observe and classify weather patterns and cloud types
  • Build straw gliders and test different wing designs
  • Design and launch straw rockets to measure distance
  • Investigate how force and direction affect flight

Step 1—Unbox and Organize: Open the Venturer kit and sort materials by subject area. Each kit and activity bundle is self-contained.

Step 2—Choose Your Subject: Select from three aerospace subjects—Weather Radar, Straw Gliders, or Straw Rockets. Each includes multiple guided activities.

Step 3—Follow the Lesson Plans: Step-by-step instructions, discussion prompts, and student handouts are included. No prior aerospace knowledge needed.

Step 4—Facilitate and Observe: Guide students through building and testing activities. Designed for groups of twenty-four students.

Step 5—Assess and Celebrate: Use included reflection prompts to capture learning and celebrate student achievements.

Physics and Engineering Foundations

The Venturer Aerospace program introduces young learners to fundamental physics concepts—forces, motion, and cause and effect—through the lens of weather and flight. Students develop engineering practices like designing, building, testing, and improving while building science process skills.

Activities align with NGSS performance expectations for K–2 physical science and earth science, supporting crosscutting concepts like patterns, cause and effect, and energy. The hands-on approach ensures students develop concrete understanding of abstract concepts.

Career connections include meteorologist, pilot, aerospace engineer, and air traffic controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Venturer and Voyager?

Venturer programs include ten hours of content across three subjects. Voyager programs expand to twenty hours across five subjects with additional hands-on kits and deeper exploration. Both serve twenty-four students.

Are rocket launches safe for young students?

Yes. Straw rockets use air pressure—no combustion or fire. The Getting Started Package includes complete safety guidelines and facilitator instructions.

Do I need outdoor space?

Straw rocket launches work best outdoors or in a gymnasium. Weather and glider activities can be done in any standard classroom or program space.

Can I run the subjects in any order?

Yes. Each subject area is self-contained, so you can sequence them in whatever order fits your schedule.

Is this aligned to education standards?

Yes. Activities align with NGSS for K–2 physical science and earth science, including pushes and pulls, weather patterns, and engineering design.

Why is this the least expensive Venturer?

The aerospace kit focuses on lightweight, consumable materials like straw gliders and straw rockets rather than reusable equipment, keeping the cost lower while delivering the same ten hours of standards-aligned content.
