Flight Basics
Upon completion of this lesson, the student should know:
• The relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion and how they were used to develop a machine that could fly.
• The coefficient of lift and the parameters involved.
• The parts of an airplane and an airfoil.
• The four forces affecting an airplane in flight.
• The three axes, movement around those axes, and the control surfaces that create the motion.

Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car
