Weather Essentials for Aviators
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to demonstrate low levels of wind speed. They will be guided through creating a stand, a balancing arm, and a uniform airfoil. Once these are completed, students will experiment using changes in weight to determine a scale and measuring device for wind speed.

This challenge focuses on teamwork and the engineering process. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to research, design, build, test, and reflect upon their cooling structure. Work will be completed
Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom for two or more class periods Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on the experiment of making an indestructible Edison robot Creative
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
