AVIATION & AEROSPACE (2013)

Offered at: Preston, Lincoln, Blevins

Course Outline and Description
Aviation and Aerospace is a STEM based course, where students will learn the basics of flight. We will explore how aviation technology has impacted our society. Students will examine the properties of air, weight, distribution, and pressure as they attempt to build gliders and small airplanes. While designing solid-fueled rockets, the student will investigate the forces that effect rockets. Lighter-than-air vehicles will also be introduced as the students study buoyancy through investigative research and data collection. There will also be an opportunity to learn how to fly an actual plane while working with our flight simulator program. A field trip to the Air and Space museum in Denver is also a possibility for the course.
