Exploring the World of Science for High School & Beyond. The award-winning, Show Me Science Advanced series, examines the most recent developments and Partoveries in science and technology. Each program is designed to help students understand the vital role science plays in our everyday lives and is an excellent in-class, library or home schooling tool. The Show Me Science Advanced series covers subjects from Fish Farming to Fossil Fuels. Students will develop a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Energy, Technology and Engineering and work their way up to more complex subjects. The concept of 'propulsive thrust to move objects over large distances' is ancient. Yet, the technology to move an automobile forward or a rocket into space was invented less than two centuries ago. The invention of the solid fuel propulsion system combined with Newton's Third Law is the simplistic basis for modern rocketry. This program reviews the history of propulsion and explores its use as a viable energy source of the future.
