Maker’s Challenge: Flight
On-Site School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand A : STEM Investigation and Communication Skills
| A1.2 | use a scientific experimentation process and associated skills to conduct investigations |
|---|---|
| A1.3 | use an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems |
| A1.4 | follow established health and safety procedures during science and technology investigations, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and clothing and safely using tools, instruments, and materials |
| A1.5 | communicate their findings, using science and technology vocabulary and formats that are appropriate for specific audiences and purposes |
Strand D : Structures and Mechanisms
| D2.1 | identify flight-related applications of the properties of air |
|---|---|
| D2.2 | describe the relationships between the four forces of flight – lift, weight, thrust, and drag – that make flight possible |
| D2.3 | describe ways in which flying machines and various organisms use balanced and unbalanced forces to control their flight |
| D2.4 | describe ways in which the four forces of flight can be altered |
| D2.5 | describe characteristics and adaptations that enable organisms to fly |
