During a unit day, we watched the movie October Sky. This movie is full of scientific and character ed connections. For instance, Homer and Quentin had to apply Newton's Laws and aerodynamics when building the rockets. Also, Ms. Riley had Hodgekins Disease, a type of lymphoma, a cancer that originates from white blood cells. In addition, Coalwood Mining Company was digging through the Earth's crust to mine coal. And the Sputnik flight, which occured in the beginning of the movie, had to do with astronomy for it was the first object launched into space.
Character ed was present in this movie many times. First of all, Homer, Quentin. Roy and Odell all have to overcome their differences to work together in buildding the rockets. And Homer's father becomes more accepting of Homer's new passion to build rockets towards the end.
