Drone Curriculum (Level I) – Aeronautics

In the Aeronautics Level I Kit, students will learn about the science of travel through the air. They will watch videos, participate in experiments, and perform research to investigate flight, evaluate the effects of air pressure, discover how birds fly, identify the basic parts of an airplane, and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of lift and thrust. Using the Engineering Design Process, students will participate in a paper airplane challenge, which will allow them to apply their knowledge in real time to create and improve upon a far-flying paper airplane design. The kit culminates with students examining a real-life drone up close and in flight.
