The movie October Sky connects to science alot. There was a lot of science related things: Sputnik, rockets, science fairs and scientific math. Sputnik connects to science because its a satellite and there was a lot of science used to create it and launch it into space. Rockets connect to science because you need science to figure out how to make one. The boys in the movie, used a lot of formulas and chemistry to figure out how to make the rocket move and go faster. Science fairs connect to science because you need science to be in one. In the movie Homer used scientific math to prove his innocence. The scientific math also connects to science because it is used to figure out scientific things like how far something would go, or how high something would go like a rocket.
October Sky also has alot of character education traits in it. The boys cooperated together to build the rocket. They all respected each other. Homer controlled himself when he was angry at his father, and instead of bursting out he just walked away. At the end of the movie Homer's father finally felt empathy for his son and went to see the rocket launching.
All in all the movie October Sky has a connection to a lot of things.
