Condor 2 flight lesson how to#
Today, we are going to learn how to design some simple gliders and airplanes using paper. By testing different models of planes, engineers can determine which one is best for distance, speed and other factors. They typically must work under specific constraints or limits, including the purpose of the airplane. For younger students, you may want to list the parts nearby from which they can choose.)Įngineers start with designing and testing several different models of an airplane before they get the approval to build a real one. (Show the class an overhead transparency of the Blank Plane Diagram and have students come up to the board and identify/label the various parts. For example, folding down the wing flaps can result in a nosedive and folding up the flaps can point the airplane in an upward direction. Moving the rudders, ailerons, or flaps up or down can change the flight path of an airplane. The wings compress the air below the paper airplane, creating high pressure, and thus the airplane is able to "sit" and glide on the air. Some are more complex, with tails, rudders and flaps. They have a main body, and generally two wings. Models of all kinds are important for testing solutions.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! The iterative process of testing the most promising solutions and modifying what is proposed on the basis of the test results leads to greater refinement and ultimately to an optimal solution. This activity focuses on the following Three Dimensional Learning aspects of NGSS:ĭevelop a model to generate data to test ideas about designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.Ĭlick to view other curriculum aligned to this Performance Expectation
