Concept Module	What will Scouts learn about?	A basic overview of Rockets.  What are Rockets? What part do they play in the ongoing inquiry and exploration of Space?	What is a glider? How has glider flight given us greater insight into flight as a whole? What are some different types of gliders?	How does a rocket fly? What are design considerations nose cones, fins, etc? What do we use rockets for?	How do we apply Newton's Laws to rockets?	What types of fuel do we use with rocket propulsion? What is the difference in use and application? What are the dangers in usage?	An understanding of rocket stages and how greater altitudes can be reached by using staging.	What is altitude tracking? Why is it important?
