Directions: In this Glider module, students will begin by having a short history of aviation. The design and construction of an airplane has changed the technology and will continue to change the evolution of aviation. Students will build an aircraft or glider, capable of flying the longest period. They will develop the simple skills of construction designing, and identifying vocabulary terms that relate to aviation.
The module contains several lessons and the assessment of the student's progress. Students will be asked to complete worksheets, take a photo of their project, and place their work in the Technology Engineering portfolio.

  1. Locate articles “Glider Aero dynamics.” Read and take notes to enhance learning for future reference.

  2. Complete the “Pre-Test” and save to your portfolio.

  3. View the “Glider” power point presentation. Read and take notes for future reference.

  4. Locate “Science and Technology programs” on computer. Locate “Flight”; locate “Glider and Delta-Dart”. Read and take notes for future reference.

  5. Locate and complete the “Vocabulary terms” and save to your portfolio.

  6. Locate the “basic concepts”. Read and take notes for future reference.

  7. View the video, “Raven.” Use this video to enhance the learning of the Delta-Dart Aircraft and construction of the aircraft.

  8. Design and build a simple glider from one piece of paper. Record the flight on the “Evaluation sheet”. Save the design and evaluation to your portfolio.

  9. Locate the Delta-Dart Aircraft Kit from the instructor.

  10. Read all “instructions and steps” before starting the construction phase.

  11. Begin the construction phase, stopping after step 11 – to review the construction procedures.

  12. Continue with the step-by-step procedure – remembering to stop after step 11 and review – before moving onto step 12.

  13. After the construction phase, start the “finishing phase” and check with instructor for improvement.

  14. Beginning the Testing Phase, locate the “informational sheet” and complete the “evaluation sheet”. Save to your portfolio.

  15. Complete the “Post-Test” and save to your portfolio.

  16. Locate the digital camera and take a photo, save to your portfolio.
