Let's Fly!
|
|
|
| Introduction: |
|
| |
You have just read about Amelia Earhart, who was an extraordinarily
pilot. In this webquest you will learn about aircrafts and how
they fly. You will then use what you learn to create and design
your own plane. |
|
| Task: |
|
| |
What makes a plane fly?
|
|
| Process: |
|
| |
You will begin your task by each person taking on a role of information collector. Two people will research the different types of planes. Two people will research the parts of an aircraft. The last group will research the basic principals of flight. You must complete a note sheet to go along with your section.
You will then meet as a group and design your plane, labeling all the important parts. After your design has been created you will then need to gather materials to create your plane. You will present your plane to the class after it has all been completed.
