1) Study of the employees that work at an airport or on airplanes
2) Research and build different types of motorized aircraft
3) Study animals that fly - butterflies in particular
The kids voted and it was a very close outcome - but we decided to pursue motorized aircraft, then follow it up with butterflies (stay tuned for those when the weather gets a bit warmer!)
We started by researching different types of motorized aircraft in the 20th century. The kids found some really neat airplanes that I never knew existed! We narrowed it down to about 15 and then the kids picked their top three!
Here are their aircraft groups:
The children will work in their groups to research their aircraft, draw up a design and list out all the materials they will need to make it, create a 3D model of their aircraft, and finally create a digital presentation to show their new learning about their chosen aircraft.
