ACADEMIC AEROSPACE LESSON #3:  PAPER AIRPLANES

• As an extension, allow students to learn about and practice pitch, roll, and yaw by flying a virtual airplane at http://www.youngeagles.org/games/pyr/.

ACADEMIC AEROSPACE LESSON #5:  BALLOON LIFTER

• Rather than following the directions for making the "basket" attachment for the balloon, I let my students decide how and where they want to attach the small cup.  It is fun to see what they come up with!  (Mrs. Chin, San Jose Catholic School)
• Rather than making the "basket" attachment, simply tape the small, paper cup to the straw that is attached to the balloon.

ACADEMIC AEROSPACE LESSON #7:  MY MISSION, MY PATCH

• Mission Patch PowerPoint
