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.

This multi-day activity is designed for an introductory 5th grade STEM after school club. On Day 1, each student will build and test a simple mousetrap car following the teacher’s instructions
Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee
