3... 2... 1... Take off! Check out this addicting and exciting game that addresses the issue of flight. It is a great way to engage students and have them learn about flight without even knowing it.
In the Matter and Materials: Properties of Air and Characteristics of Flight portion of the Grade 6 Curriculum, this game addresses these three Overall Expections:
1. Students will: demonstrate an understanding of the properties of
air (e.g., air and other gases have mass) and explain how these can be
applied to the principles of flight;
2. Students will: investigate the principles of flight and determine the
effect of the properties of air on materials when designing and
constructing flying devices;
3. Students will: identify design features (of products or structures) that
make use of the properties of air, and give examples of technological
innovations that have helped inventors to create or improve flying
devices.
