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

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?

Robotics program examines the expanding role of robotics in the exploration of space. Students will engage in activities before and after the videoconference, initially constructing simple machines, and then progressing to more complex devices. During the videoconference, participants learn about NASA's most advanced robotic systems.

"In a Finding Your Science video, Dr. Gee discusses the deep learning principles found in many video games of today. He argues that human beings have a very strong, innate instinct for learning, just as we have a strong instinct for reproduction. Gee goes on to say that traditional schooling inadvertently suppresses this instinct in many ways."

"The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test, but forget it shortly thereafter, only to review again the following year."

"Whether your students are learning new and difficult math concepts or simple, basic ones, switching up the way you teach it to them can be beneficial. It is exciting to see lessons and concepts taught in a new way that is unlike the traditional. If students have access to the Internet, they can be exposed to some great videos that teach them tutorials or serve as a refresher of concepts they have learned in the classroom. "
