Fifth graders attempt to solve a problem related to an airline accident. The accident appears to be weather related. They analyze and research the effects of wind and turbulence in order to prevent future accidents.

Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

Students explore all the possible options and benefits of transportation/travel within the United States. An extensive list of options is listed for them within a vocabulary list on the board.

In this reading worksheet, students staple an illustrated book together and read it. The story pertains to a mischievous boy who flies paper airplanes. There are 2 identical copies of each page so teachers may duplicate and cut apart.

In this math worksheet, learners solve the problems that are in word form in order to find the proper type of proportion for the solution.

In this Thanksgiving activity instructional activity, students make a large graph showing whether they would like to travel by plane, train or car. They discuss holiday travel and sing an associated song.

For this questions worksheet, learners write questions that go with given answers, 10 answers total. Students are directed to use "where, when what time or why" questions.
