Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Although my students are highly curious and eager to learn, at this age, hands-on activities are the most effective way for them to learn. I made this project in order to meet their demands and improve their learning. The fundamentals of aerodynamics and the science of flight will be taught to my students. The forces that affect an airplane and kite in the air will be covered in their lesson. But they can't connect the dots if they don't have the right tools.

Their learning will be aided by the topical literature, paint, wooden airplanes, and kites, which will provide them practical experience.

I want my students to listen to the stories about aerodynamics and flight before building their own kite and aircraft. They will be able to apply what they have learnt by decorating their own and flying their own kite.
