Book Description

How Rockets Fly, Teacher's Edition, illustrates through rocket design how technical books are written, and how mathematical expressions come to be, with a systematic seven step approach to problem solving. How Rockets Fly is a series of colorfully illustrated interactive labs intended for grades 4-6 aimed at helping children learn and apply problem solving techniques for math and science in a way that is both powerful and fun for children. How Rockets Fly illustrates through rocket design how technical books are written, and how mathematical expressions come to be. How Rockets Fly incorporates many of the Learning Standards taught for proficiency testing and applies these standards to rocket design with a systematic approach to problem solving. Upon completion of the labs, the students will predict the stability of a rocket and certify it for flight. Then they will test their theoretical skills with empirical data as they watch their own rockets fly! Many of the Math and Science Learning Standards taught for proficiency testing can be found in How Rockets Fly and applied to rocket design, flight, and descent. The Teacher's Edition is a companion book to the Student's Edition and includes an expanded appendix including: Application of the equation of a line from the coursework, rocket stability certificate, rocket cutout templates, detailed simulation guide (includes derivations, spreadsheet example, and graphs), and additional graph paper. About the Author: Jon Wilson received his degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue and Mechanical Design from Ivy Tech. Jon spent his career as an engineering and analytics consultant for NASA, commercial and military aviation and a variety of other industries. Jon was a long time Adjunct Instructor at both Ivy Tech and Cincinnati State in the Engineering and Technology Departments.Jon is a Private Pilot, a member of the National Association of Rocketry and is certified for High Powered Rocketry flights. He also holds a Technician Class FCC amateur radio license. Contact Jon at aes2jwilson@fuse.com.

Author Bio

Jon Wilson joined the department in 1999 as Lecturer in British Imperial and South Asian History. He was awarded a DPhil from Oxford University in 2000, following two years in New York studying for an MA in Anthropology at the New School for Social Research. He was Deputy Head (External Relations) of the School of Arts and Humanities from 2008-11, where he initiated the King’s Arts and Humanities festival. He has also worked as a parliamentary researcher and been a local councillor.

Research Interests 

Prof Wilson’s work focuses on the everyday life of the state in South Asia, Britain and beyond. His first book, The Dominance of Strangers was a study of the emergence of a modern regime in Bengal during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. His second major project was on the British conquest of India and its implications for imperial and Indian politics. India Conquered. Britain’s Raj and the Chaos of Empire, published by Simon and Schuster (or Public Affairs in the USA/Canada) was published in September 2016, and was shortlisted for the Longman-History Today prize.

Prof Wilson is currently working on a multi-national history of everyday concepts of government from the 1945 to the present, tracing particularly the rise and fall of ideas of national and democratic political power after the Second World War and end of empire. The project will result in a book whose provisional title is Out of Chaos. A Global History of the Rise and Fall of the Nation State. Part of it involves quantitative textual analysis, and is part of a collaborative project with colleagues in Digital Humanities and the Turing Institute developing digital methodologies for understanding global conceptual change.
