October Sky is a move about Homer Hickam who grows in a mining town and ends up working for NASA.  He is inspired by Sputnik.  I use this movie to teach about Sputnik, the space race, and inquiry.  Homer Hickam and his friends go through the complete scientific process to build and launch rockets.  Kids love this movie and at has become a 7th grade tradition at WMS.
