Let's Fly
by Jennifer Cheesman
Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source (ideas included), take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then bring them back together and they must create a new glider---new wings, tail, nose or even the body. Then head back outside you go to observe how the changes affected the flyers.
