Forces, Flight, and learning with UAVs (Drones): Lesson 1 of 4
This is the first lesson in a series of 4. Students gain an understanding of the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. They will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work together to allow controlled flying of a UAV (drone). Links to helpful resources are provided in the lesson and allow the teacher to determine the depth of content coverage while teaching this lesson.
This lesson also contains the links to every lesson in the series.

Could Iron Man actually survive a superhero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
