What’s All the Buzz About? Investigating the Dynamic World of Drones Part 1 of 4: SOAR
by Ellen Miller
This lesson is part one of four lessons, which will culminate in the flight of drones built by the students.
Lesson 1: SOAR focuses on social-emotional learning (SEL), noticing and wondering, and the basic principles of flight. Students will understand that knowledge comes from multiple iterations and productive struggle in the engineering design process utilized in a class STEM challenge.
