Controlling Aircraft in Flight is an educational program offered
to grades 4, 5 & 6.
Science & Technology Strand: Matter & Materials - Properties
of Air & Characteristics of Flight.
Fast paced, hands-on experiments. A basic investigation of flight
characteristics and control surfaces.
Students Will:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of air
(eg. air & other gasses have mass) and explain how these can
be applied to the principles of flight.
• Investigate the principles of flight and determine the
effect of the properties of air on materials when designing and
constructing flying devices.
• Identify design features (of products or structures) that
make use of the properties of air, and give examples of technological
innovations that have helped inventors to create or improve flying
devices.
