Word 07
air rocket (n)
空氣火箭
We built an air rocket from paper and launched it across the field.
我們用紙做了一支空氣火箭，發射它飛過操場。
An air rocket uses air pressure instead of fuel to fly.
空氣火箭用氣壓而非燃料來飛行。
Word 08
launch (v)
發射
Ready? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — launch! The rocket flew 8 meters!
準備好了嗎？5、4、3、2、1——發射！火箭飛了8公尺！
We launched the rocket three times and recorded each distance.
我們發射了三次火箭並記錄每次的距離。
Word 09
air pressure (n)
氣壓
More air pressure in the launcher = a stronger push and longer flight.
發射器中的氣壓越大，推力越強，飛行距離越遠。
We squeezed harder to increase the air pressure for our third launch.
我們用力擠壓，增加第三次發射的氣壓。
Word 10
gravity (n)
重力
Gravity is the force that pulls every object — including rockets — back to Earth.
重力是將所有物體（包括火箭）拉回地球的力量。
Without gravity, the rocket would fly in a straight line forever.
如果沒有重力，火箭就會永遠沿直線飛行。
Word 11
launch angle (n)
發射角度
We tested three launch angles: 30°, 45°, and 60°.
我們測試了三種發射角度：30°、45° 和 60°。
A launch angle of 45° gives the maximum flight distance on flat ground.
在平地上，45° 的發射角度可達最遠的飛行距離。
Word 12
trajectory (n)
飛行軌跡
Watch the trajectory — the rocket curves upward and then falls back down.
觀察飛行軌跡——火箭向上弧起，然後落回地面。
A higher angle creates a steeper trajectory but a shorter landing distance.
角度越大，軌跡越陡，但落地距離反而越短。

🔬 Science Concepts  科學概念

How Does an Air Rocket Fly?

Air pressure from the launcher propels the rocket forward. Gravity then pulls it back down. The fins stabilise its flight path.

發射器產生的氣壓推動火箭向前，重力再將其拉回，尾翼穩定飛行路徑。

The Best Launch Angle

At 45°, the rocket achieves maximum range on flat ground. Below 45° it lands quickly; above 45° it goes high but not far.

在平地上 45° 達最遠距離。低於 45° 很快落地；高於 45° 飛高卻飛不遠。
