What’s All the Buzz About? Investigating the Dynamic World of Drones Part 2 of 4: Harmony
This lesson is part two of four lessons, which will culminate in the flight of drones built by the students.
Lesson 2: Harmony focuses on how stakeholders work together to ensure safety, mobility, and autonomy for the new dimension of transportation in the skies, AAM, or Advanced Air Mobility. Students identify who works on AAM, and join the quest to find new harmony in the sky by designing and presenting a flight plan for a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), or drone. They will work together to design a mission and overcome obstacles in their way. The scenarios and products will vary based on student interest.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
The Parachute design lesson involves students learning about the engineering design process, air resistance, and parachute principles before planning and constructing their own parachutes. Through
