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.

Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process
Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.
This multi-day activity is designed for introductory 5th grade STEM after school club. On Day 1, each student will build and test a simple roller coaster following the teacher’s instructions. Students
