By making and testing simple balloon rockets, students acquire a basic understanding of Newton's third law of motion as it applies to rockets. Using balloons, string, straws and tape, they see how rockets are propelled by expelling gases, and test their rockets in horizontal and incline conditions. They also learn about the many types of engineers who design rockets and spacecraft.
This task is from Tools for NC Teachers. It focuses on addition and subtraction, but also includes 4.MD.2 (measurement conversions). This is remixable.

Students are asked to use their knowledge of area and perimeter to develop a blueprint for an eco-friendly “tiny home.” The home must be innovative in design while meeting specific requirements from an architect. In order to stay within these requirements, students must monitor the area of the home, gardens, patios, and other spaces. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.
