Airplane Mathematics
The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...
Curated OER
Airplane Wings
Learners examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift. In this flight instructional activity students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.
Curated OER
Frisbee
Students examine the history behind the frisbee and how Bernoulli's principle and Newton's law plays a role. In this flight lesson plan students complete an experiment on how the rim of a frisbee effects flight.
Curated OER
Build Your Own Parachute
Students study the basics of parachuting. In this flight and aerodynamics instructional activity students make a simple parachute and investigate different variables that can cause potential problems.
Curated OER
Model Rockets
Students study the basics of a model rocket and its classifications. In this rocket lesson students determine the flight duration of a model rocket.
Curated OER
Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Alone Together
Students discover what the lives of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh were really like after watching a Biography movie about them.
Curated OER
New Breed of Robots Takes War To the Next Level
Young scholars study an article and answer questions. In this exploring robots lesson students read an article on military robots and answer questions.
Curated OER
Wing Area Effects Problem Set
Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.
Curated OER
Angle Measurement and the AD-1 Aircraft
Students represent and solve problems using geometric models and apply geometric properties and relationships. They also practice constructing and measuring angles. By constructing, drawing, visualizing, and comparing geometric figures...
Curated OER
How Do Airplanes Stay off the Ground?
Students use balloons and string to duplicate Bernoulli's Principle of wing shape and its affect on liftoff.
Curated OER
Supersonic Dream
Students explore how fuel use affects the mass of different planes during flight and graph their results. They determine the per person fuel cost of a transatlantic flight for seven airplanes
Curated OER
Pitch, Yaw & Roll
Students practice the concepts of pitch, yaw and roll. They practice pitch, yaw, roll in a make-believe airplane simulator. Students explore about air, forces, and movement of flight. They read for themselves about air; lift, dragweight,...
