Plane Weather
October 1998
Weather affects our daily
lives.The elements of
weather: rain, wind, fog,
ice and snow affect the
operation and flight of
an airplane. In this program,
NASA and FAA researchers
will introduce students
to math, science, and
weather; demonstrate how
these elements influence
flight; and show how NASA
and FAA research is used
to limit the effects of
these elements on flight.
Students will examine:
the tools, techniques,
and technologies used
by engineers and scientists
to detect these and other
climatological factors
affecting aircraft in
flight. The lesson and
classroom experiment will
involve students in the
scientific process and
emphasizing problem solving,
measurement, and reasoning
skills.
