The activities presented at the "Inventing Flight" site give students an opportunity to explore several aspects of flight. Students can explore pitch, roll, and yaw; Bernoulli's principle and lift; various wing shapes and aspect ratios; and design a passenger jet.

| Physical Sciences |  |
|
| Benchmarks (6 - 8) |
|
| B. | In simple cases, describe the motion of objects and conceptually describe the effects of forces on an object. |
|
| Benchmarks (9 - 10) |
|
| D. | Explain the movement of objects by applying Newton's three laws of motion. |
|
| Benchmarks (11 - 12) |
|
| D. | Apply principles of forces and motion to mathematically analyze, describe and predict the net effects on objects or systems. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 8) |
|
| 2. | Explain that motion describes the change in the position of an object (characterized by a speed and direction) as time changes. |
| 3. | Explain that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes that object's speed and/or direction. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 9) |
|
| 21. | Demonstrate that motion is a measurable quantity that depends on the observer's frame of reference and describe the object's motion in terms of position, velocity, acceleration and time. |
| 22. | Demonstrate that any object does not accelerate (remains at rest or maintains a constant speed and direction of motion) unless an unbalanced (net) force acts on it. |
| 23. | Explain the change in motion (acceleration) of an object. Demonstrate that the acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. (Fnet = ma. Note that weight is the gravitational force on a mass.) |
| 24. | Demonstrate that whenever one object exerts a force on another, an equal amount of force is exerted back on the first object. |
| 25. | Demonstrate the ways in which frictional forces constrain the motion of objects (e.g., a car traveling around a curve, a block on an inclined plane, a person running, an airplane in flight). |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 12) |
|
| 5. | Use and apply the laws of motion to analyze, describe and predict the effects of forces on the motions of objects mathematically. |

|
| Scientific Inquiry | |
|
| Benchmarks (9 - 10) |
|
| A. | Participate in and apply the processes of scientific investigation to create models and to design, conduct, evaluate and communicate the results of these investigations. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 9) |
|
| 3. | Construct, interpret and apply physical and conceptual models that represent or explain systems, objects, events or concepts. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 10) |
|
| 4. | Draw conclusions from inquiries based on scientific knowledge and principles, the use of logic and evidence (data) from investigations. |

| Science as Inquiry | |
|
| Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry (Grades 5 - 8) |
|
| Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations. |

|
| Motions and forces (Grades 5 - 8) |
|
| The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed. That motion can be measured and represented on a graph. |
|
| If more than one force acts on an object along a straight line, then the forces will reinforce or cancel one another, depending on their direction and magnitude. Unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion. |
|
| Motions and forces (Grades 9 - 12) |
|
| Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. The magnitude of the change in motion can be calculated using the relationship F = ma, which is independent of the nature of the force. Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. |
