Junior Aerospace
This series of six lessons is a compilation of original work and educational resources from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the National Headquarters Civil Air Patrol, Utah 4-H and the SciTech Institute. It is designed for youth in grades K-8 to explore aerospace through hands-on and interactive activities. Youth will spend time designing and learning about gliders, helicopters, hovercrafts and rockets.
The lessons can be delivered stand-alone at a club meeting, after-school workshop, or camp setting, or be utilized in their entirety through a project club. Guided through reflection practices in the youth flight log, participants will achieve certifications as they complete challenges within each of the lessons.
Lesson time: Six lessons at 60 minutes each
