The Skylap design project will be the best project you run all year. Your students design and make a flying aircraft and test it using the PowerAnchor.
Construction techniques are easy so that they can make quick modifications. As they measure the speed and lift of the aircraft they gain a deeper understanding of the principles of flight.
How does wing shape affect speed; how does weight affect lift? As designers, we know that the best way to understand a problem is to make something and test it.
The teaching resource pack is a rich source of ideas with a teaching programme, teachers’ notes, student notes and worksheets as well as a classroom video to help instruct and inspire your students.
Designability projects are designed by teachers and are classroom tested.
