"The Centennial of Flight Special Edition: Problem
Solving: The "Wright" Math"
Students will learn about he evolution of flight. They will learn
how the Wright Brothers became the first human beings to successfully
design, construct, and fly an airplane. Students will also be introduced
to NASA's Morphing Project, a radically new approach to designing
aircraft of the future. They will observe NASA researchers using
problem-solving techniques to design wings that will change their
shape during flight. By conducting hands-on and web activities,
students will make connections between NASA research and the mathematics,
science, and technology they learn in their classrooms. |
