Lesson Essential Questions:
1. What are the major parts of an airplane and what function do those parts serve?
2. How are the control surfaces of an airplane used to manipulate its movements through the air?
3.How can I use a topographical map to understand the terrain and features of an area?
Garvin's Space and Robotics Academy is officially underway. Cadets have spent the first couple of weeks learning about the major parts of an airplane and how the control surfaces manipulate the movement of the plane through the air. They have also created topographical maps, converted topo maps to profile views, and learned how to expand the scale of an existing map. The pictures below show the cadets hard at work on their topographical maps.
