Special Notes to the Teacher If
access to the Internet is limited, printing out the page
with the parts of the plane labeled or labeling it
together with the class would also work. A great Web site
for students to visit so that they can do some
self-testing is http://k12unix.larc.nasa.gov/flyingstart/plane/ The following experiments are well-presented and students can work in front of the computer or using printouts of the activities. |
