What’s All the Buzz About? Investigating the Dynamic World of Drones Part 1 of 4: SOAR
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.

Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
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.
