Join us for this class where future aviators will learn about the 4 principles that allow for flight to happen. They will learn also learn the words for the way an aircraft moves through the air and which parts of the aircraft need to move in order to navigate the aircraft in the direction that you want to go. These concepts will be reinforced through a fun paper airplane activity. Students will create their own paper airplane together and discuss which forces are at play as the plane glides...

Students will be able to explain how an airplane moves and which forces create flight.

Paper to make a paper airplane.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
