How it Works:

Interactive Lessons
Students go through the highly visual lessons that illustrate the concepts of Aeronautics and how flight works. From examples and inspiration taken from flight in the animal kingdom, to new technology pushing the envelope for Aeronautics, each lesson makes concepts easy and memorable. Each Lesson is filled with clear, detailed instruction on both the scientific principles and the instructions for building and experimenting.
Building & Experimenting
After each lesson, the student will be doing engaging experiments or building projects to illustrate the concepts they have just learned about in the lesson. This gives them the chance to directly apply the knowledge that they just learned and solve real life problems. Using a hands on approach to learning encourages retention and makes learning topics easier and more enjoyable.

We are using the Aeronautics unit and we really like it. We love how much the student is involved and can do it nearly all by themselves.
David –
My daughter really enjoyed the aeronautics unit. She said “I enjoyed learning how the different designs effected the flights.”
