Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Young scholars construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  In this creative lesson students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Students use FoilSim to design an airplane wing that generates a given lift. As they change parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area, the software...

Students discuss different types of travel, specifically outlining travel arrangements requiring reservations (i.e., airplane, bus, etc.) They work in small groups and create travel brochures then practice dialoging reservations and...

Fifth graders research and plan an imaginary vacation. In this travel planning lesson, 5th graders work in pairs to use an atlas, calendar, review airplane schedules, encyclopedias, magazines, and the Internet to research information...

Students explain the historical significance of use of the scientific method in developing the first airplane and appreciate the process involved in developing a new technology.

Students explore aerodynamics. In this aerodynamics lesson, students study the flight patterns of three paper airplanes and discover the underlying principles of aerodynamics. Resources and grade level modifications are present.

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics instructional activity, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Investigate what is pushing on us. An intriguing activity has pupils calculate the amount of force on various squares due to air pressure. Using the data, individuals create a graph in the third activity of the Up, Up and Away unit...

What is the difference between a proactive person and a reactive person? Scholars explore the topic, and many others, with helpful lessons, discussions, role play activities, and games. Each activity supports one of the key principles...

Ideas take flight in an exciting activity exploring the Wright Brothers. Scholars view the Wright Brothers' patent for their flying machine and makes educated guesses as to the purpose of the document. Scholars discuss the purpose of...

An ESL vocabulary worksheet focuses on verbs associated with travel. Intermediate language learners complete 10 sentences using the correct verb, match five verbs with their definitions, and complete five sentences using the correct...

In this tracing numbers worksheet, students practice their number recognition by matching the numbers on the plane to the number words on the clouds.

Learners practice map skills. In this map skills lesson, students locate the cities of New York and Paris on a map. Learners read about the flight made by Charles Lindbergh in May 1927 from New York to Paris. Students answer 8 questions...

For this algebra worksheet, students are given a word problem to solve using algebraic symbols. They find a path of an airplane without the airplane retracing its path. An answer with a full explanation is included.

For this distance, speed, and time worksheet, students determine the effect of wind on the time of a flight.  The students answer five questions to help them come to a conclusion regarding the airplanes travel.

Pupils read a NASA Web-based text, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it to complete an activity on the center of gravity of a commercial cargo airplane.
