 Description
Students will investigate
the basic principles of
kite flight and gain an
understanding of stability
and control. They
will construct and test
three kites based on kite
sail area and aspect ratio.
Instructional
Objectives
The student will
- use prior knowledge
to predict the effect
of kite sail area on
kite flight.
- use a ruler to measure
the base and height
of a trapezoidal kite.
- use reflections in
constructing the kites
- calculate the area
of a trapezoid and aspect
ratio
- incorporate collaborative
problem-solving strategies
in a real-life application.
