Flight Basics
Upon completion of this lesson, the student should know:
• The relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion and how they were used to develop a machine that could fly.
• The coefficient of lift and the parameters involved.
• The parts of an airplane and an airfoil.
• The four forces affecting an airplane in flight.
• The three axes, movement around those axes, and the control surfaces that create the motion.

After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to

Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
