Stem high school

iFLY field trips make STEM relevant, interesting and accessible for your students.

;

Flight objectives.

The iFLY STEM Program for Elementary School aims to instil the following in students:

  • Increase awareness of exciting STEM careers.
  • Learn how STEM is used in the real-world.
  • Understand the differences between solids and fluids.
  • Analyze the effects of different forces on an object.
  • Plan investigations and defining variables in an experiment.
  • Measure and record data, and interpret results.
  • Understand variability, uncertainty, and error in experimental results.

REQUEST INFO

;

See the power of the wind.

Watch physics in action! Students will witness flight instructors interacting with objects in the wind tunnel.

They will then discuss how the size, shape, and weight of an object affects its speed in the tunnel.

REQUEST INFO

;

Simulate and test terminal velocity.

In this classroom experiment, students will predict their own terminal velocity using measurements and algebraic reasoning.

After flying, they'll compare their predictions to their actual terminal velocity in the wind tunnel and brainstorm reasons for any errors.
