Aviation Science Unit for all ages
Completed at the Museum of Flight
This is a two day event – both days are required.
April 23 10am – noon (Redmond Library)
Aviation vocabulary, ideas, and basic principles are taught.
April 30 10am – noon (Museum of Flight)
The principles and ideas learned are put into practice as “novice pilots”
Aviation Learning Center (for 4th grade and up)
Be a pilot for a day.
Enter a hands-on learning environment where critical thinking, scientific inquiry, problem solving, and technical reading and writing skills are practiced. In the Rajpaul Learning Laboratory, ten interactive computer-based workstations await to present various aviation topics a pilot must understand. Then after planning a cross country flight, preflight an actual Cirrus R20 aircraft and fly the flight using advanced software in our simulation bay.
