Rocket Parts Labeling Worksheet
Explore how a rocket is built and how forces help it move. Answer the questions using the word bank where helpful: nose cone, payload bay, fuel tank, engine, fins.
Identify the parts
Use the clues to name the rocket parts.
1.Write the name of the pointed part at the very top of the rocket.
2.Which part carries equipment or people on a space mission?
- Fins
- Payload bay
- Engine
- Fuel tank
3.Name these three rocket parts: the long section that holds fuel, the engine at the base that expels hot gases, and the small wing-like parts near the base.
Forces in flight
A rocket moves because forces act on it.
4.Hot gases rush downwards out of a rocket engine. What force pushes the rocket upwards?
5.True or false: A rocket needs to push against the air to move forwards, so it cannot travel where there is no air.
TrueFalse
6.Complete the sentence: The rocket engine burns fuel to produce hot gases and .
7.What is one job of the fins as a rocket flies through the atmosphere?
8.Air resistance acts against a rocket as it travels through the atmosphere. Which design feature helps the rocket move through the air smoothly?
- A pointed nose cone
- A wider payload bay
- A larger fuel tank
- A flat base
9.A rocket is ready for launch. Name thrust as the force that helps it rise and name gravity as the force that acts downwards against its rise.
10.Imagine you are improving a small model rocket. Suggest one change to its shape or fins and explain how the change might help it fly.
Draw a rocket of your own. Label its nose cone, payload bay, fuel tank, engine and fins.
