A Flight Simulator Program Takes Off
McMahon, Don
Science and Children, v41 n2 p42-45 Oct 2003
Aviation concepts, including forces acting on an airplane, navigation, correct aircraft terminology, and general aviation vocabulary, are often part of a comprehensive fifth-grade aviation curriculum. But in one school district, students also learned about flying planes and even trained in a flight simulator. This article describes how industry and a school district in Mesa, Arizona teamed up in a mutually beneficial partnership to teach students about the wonders of flight. (Contains 1 resource and 3 online resources.)
