In this activity, students explore how movement of a solid object through a fluid (air) causes lift. This resource, "PingPong Ball Lift Activity" is included in Lesson 2 Theories and Factors Affecting Lift which is a part of Unit 08 Aircraft Forces - Lift and Weight included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

Unlike previous rovers sent to Mars, Curiosity is a robot chemist seeking evidence of past habitability on Mars.

This resource, "Thrust to Weight Ratio Activity" is included in Lesson 1 Thrust which is a part of Unit 09 Aircraft Forces - Thrust included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

This activity involves using the graphs created by FoilSim for each of six variables to compare their effect on the lift of an airfoil. Students will analyze the graphs produced by each of the following variables compared to the lift produced: airspeed, angle of attack, area of the airfoil,altitude, thickness of the airfoil,and camber of the airfoil. This resource, "Using Graphs to Compare Lift Variables" is included in Lesson 1 Airfoils and Wings which is a part of Unit 11 Airfoils, Wings, and Wind Tunnels included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

In this activity, students will list the advantages and disadvantages of the Daedalus over a small aircraft. This resource, "Why Invent That Activity" is included in Lesson 1 Thrust which is a part of Unit 09 Aircraft Forces - Thrust included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

This resource, "Wing Area Worksheet- student" is included in Lesson 2 Theories and Factors Affecting Lift which is a part of Unit 08 Aircraft Forces - Lift and Weight included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

Learners identify the major components of an aircraft and the functions of these components.

Learners examine the various classifications of airspace and the requirements to pilot an aircraft there. A quiz completes the activity. This object has sound.

This animated guide presents an FAA map and aerial photos showing various areas of interest to student pilots enrolled in flight training at FVTC Aviation at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI. The airport is the site of the annual Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture Oshkosh. This object has sound.

In this animated activity, students are introduced to standard procedures, pilot actions, and pilot callouts for Be76 critical phases of flight including takeoff and initial climb, ILS approach, non-precision approach, visual approach, and aborted takeoff.

In this animated learning object, students are introduced to standard procedures, pilot actions, and pilot callouts for C-172 critical phases of flight.

In this interactive object, learners demonstrate their knowledge of the in-flight checklist a BE-76 pilot uses on a regular basis.

In this interactive object, learners demonstrate their knowledge of the in-depth checklist a pilot uses on a regular basis.

In this interactive object, learners experience how the three primary flight controls allow a pilot to determine the motion of the airplane during flight.
