buildaplane science k-12 activity

valerie taylor on 23 Nov 10

Teaching about the atmosphere? Here are a few ideas for the classroom. Activities about the atmosphere are particularly well suited for talking about air pressure, since air pressure is essentially the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on us. At the Exploratorium we had a couple of really great activities to get at this idea.

On a windy day like today what better excuse than to teach turns around a point. Ground reference maneuvers commonly get taught at the very beginning of a students training just to be neglected later on as an "elementary" flight maneuver. However that is so far from the truth! If students really learned how to compensate for wind using varying bank angles they would fly better traffic patterns and improve all aspects of their flying

"Assessment in game-based learning (GBL) programs can be far superior to your typical weekly multiple-choice test. Games are all about constant assessment. Games do not actively "teach" - they don't say "here is some knowledge for you to remember" - but rather they provide constant challenges and then give you feedback on your decisions, and that is how you learn."
