Denman is one of about 80 students in Southwest Learning Centers' aviation program, which allows students to gain flight experience and eventually become licensed pilots. Southwest Learning Centers, a three-school charter complex in Northeast Albuquerque, has been offering a version of the program since 2005. Interest expanded in the past few years

Free math tutorials and problems to help you explore and gain deep understanding of math, calculus, trigonometry and geometry topics.

Aviation: Wright Brothers - These sites are about the Wright Brothers and their early airplanes. Includes biographies on Wilbur and Orville that tell about their family and careers. Discover what inspired them to build planes. Contains historical photographs, movies, diaries, interviews, and simulations."

LESSON PLANS - A library of fun science experiments to help students understand how the Wrights developed the first powered aircraft. WIND TUNNEL TESTS In 1901, the Wright Brothers conducted wind tunnel tests that helped them learn about lift. With NASA's help, we'll recreate some of those tests. Follow along! COMPUTER SIMULATIONS We're using computers to analyze the Wrights' early wing designs and the 1903 Wright Flyer. What will we learn?

This unit in aerodynamics will attempt to find the mathematical concepts that are essential to flight with special interest in the concepts that relate to path problems.

Understanding Mathematics through Insight, Concept, and Perception

Mathematics is a live science with new discoveries being made every day. The frontier of mathematics is an exciting place, where mathematicians experiment and play with creative and imaginative ideas. ideas that have already piqued many children's curiosity, but their profound mathematical importance is not widely known or understood. The MegaMath project is intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms so that young people and their teachers can think about them together.

Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This unique NASA resource on the web, in print, and with companion videos introduces electromagnetic waves, their behaviors, and how scientists visualize these data.

Middle school educators are invited to join NASA for the International Space Station EarthKAM Winter 2011 Mission from Jan. 18-21, 2011. Find out more about this exciting opportunity that allows students to take pictures of Earth from a digital camera aboard the International Space Station.

What is Mass vs. Weight? We often confuse the terms "mass" and "weight" and use them interchangeably even though they have very different meanings. We can measure weight here on Earth, but not in the microgravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS).

The Aerospace Education Services Project, or AESP, is presenting a free webcast on Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011, at 4:30 p.m. EST. During this hourlong webcast, Stennis Space Center aerospace education specialist Steve Culivan will discuss "mass" and "weight," two terms that differ in meaning and that often are used incorrectly. This webcast will integrate Newton's Laws of Motion and microgravity to explore these two terms and demonstrate their difference by focusing on education video filmed by astronauts on the International Space Station. NASA education resources and inquiry activities, developed from the space station video, will be used in this workshop. Come enjoy this "heavy duty" topic.

Develop your skills in designing and using project-based inquiry learning, or PBIL, to enhance conceptual understanding, critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and problem solving in standards-based classrooms. Experience and analyze two NASA-oriented PBIL projects firsthand; learn PBIL curriculum design strategies and methods; and design a PBIL unit for use in your classroom. Use e-PDN's suite of online tools to collaborate, connect and create with other course participants."

Actually there ARE two kinds of WAVES that Grandpa John was talking about.
