This Week in Aviation (Sep 21-25)
Dear Parents and students,
We just finished out air foils and wind tunnels this week. This was a pretty large project. The students who built the project did an amazing job. We are now able to determine how much lift their air foils produce. It will be a couple of weeks before we have another engineering project. Some of the students thrive on engineering while others are looking forward to the research studies. Are you involved in aviation in some way? I am looking for experienced aviators, air traffic controllers, mechanics, and engineers to come to class and share with the students. Please let me know!
Here is our class schedule for the week:
2D3 Bellwork: How did people think about flying before the Wright’s successful flight? How do you think they felt about it afterwards? Project: Lesson D3 Student Activity 1: Changing Technologies Changing Ideas (Attached in Classwork)
Unit 2 Exam
3A1 Bellwork: Would you have flown on the first commercial airline? How do you think the ride would be? Project: Lesson A1 Student Activity 1: Beginnings of Commercial Airlines (Attached in Classwork)
