The goal for this project is to take students on an engaging field trip to inspire and educate through an immersive, educational program where they learn all about STEM. We hope students will get fired up about math and physics when they see it come to life in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel.
The Elementary School Education Program at iFLY uses iFLY’s unique vertical wind tunnel facility to make STEM exciting, relevant, and accessible to students. The curriculum has been designed by STEM educators and scientists to support STEM learning in the classroom. Every iFLY field trip includes:
• Interactive STEM presentation, delivered by iFLY STEM Educators
• Increasing awareness of exciting STEM careers
• Learning how STEM is used in the real-world
• Physics demonstration in the wind tunnel
• Classroom experiment to investigate the effects of parachute parameters on flight performance
• Pre and post-field trip activities to conduct in your classroom
Students will gain an understanding of specific Physical Science and Nature of Science content knowledge through hands-on experiences that consist of:
• Understanding the differences between solids and fluids
• Analyzing the effects of different forces on an object
• Planning investigations and defining variables in an experiment
• Measuring and recording data
• Interpreting results
• Understanding variability, uncertainty,
and error in experimental results
