Short description |
Flying is a fascinating topic. But how is it possible to fly? Is it magic?
A good question! The project begins with hands-on activities on how airplane-wings create lift, which involves a discussion of air pressure and how wings use Bernoulli's principle to change air pressure. Students use paper wings and airplanes to demonstrate these principles. Students learn about different kinds of airplanes and build airplane models in teams. Finally students use their imagination and creativity and design the aircrafts of the future. |
Aims |
Students will improve many skills. They will:
o improve their English
o learn new things about life in other schools, countries
o learn how to oragnize their work in teams
o learn how to use digital tools in an appropriate way
o learn in collaboration with other European students
o investigate about flight and aviation
o explore the forces of aviation
o enjoy collaboration and create common products
o co-ceate aircraft models and stop motion flights
Teachers will exchange teaching methods and learn from each other. We will enhance our digital skills, which is very important these days. |
Work process |
October |
| Videoconference Teacher for project planning | Finding a good moment
Terminplaner: | Setting up Barbara Videoconference teacher team |
| Project registration | | Maria & Barbara |
| Exchange of school addresses | | Team |
| Exchange of school calendars (common project calendar) | | Setting up Barbara Filling teacher team |
| Information of parents and the school community | | Each partner responsible for itself |
| Pupils invitation in twinspace | single or class accounts: first name.city, or class.city E.g. those from Schule am Bienenhaus in Rheinberg wadim.rheinberg | teacher |
| Project start with the pupils | Introducing the topic, visiting the twinspace …. | pupils / teacher |
| Internet safety | Password / netiquette / copyright | pupils / teacher |
November/December/ |
| Where are the partners from | | pupils / teacher |
| Setting up an eTwinning wall in school | Sharing photos from in twinspace | pupils / teacher |
| Introduction of kids by photo(es) / videos | Sharing in twinspace - on a twinboard Please announce in blog, so everybody can notice without scanning the whole twinspace | pupils/teacher |
| Hot air / cold air Hot air balloons | Hands on activities:
Warm air is bigger than cold air Warm air rises | |
| Logo competition | rules to be decided: -
National round -
International round … | |
| Airplanes Why do they fly?
Bernoulli effect / Coanda effect
| Hands on activities https://t1p.de/hptk especially end of the video - German English: https://youtu.be/aFO4PBolwFg German: https://youtu.be/Y5j_r4Qkt0U | |
| Christmas / New Year Greetings Christmas Video Conference? | Each group send minimum one Christmas/New year card to each partner - parcels would be better Video conferences one by one (perhaps) | |
January / February/March/ April |
| Paper airplanes | Fold and share crafting instructions and try the versions of partners (Perhaps we can have a video conference where one partner teaches the other to fold) | |
| Real airplanes | Glider Powered aircraft energy | |
| Videoconference of teachers | Further planning | |
May |
| | | |
| The entire project work and the products are consistently documented in the twinspace. Children should always have the opportunity to visit the twinspace and comment there. Very important here: the topic netiquette and also the secure password. The supervising teachers visit the twinspace (except during school holidays) at least once a week. |
Expected results |
Participants will gain knowledge, enhance digital and social competences, realise that we are all members of the European Community and we learn together having as our main goal a better world for everyone. Trough the project we connect with other students and teachers and become friends.
Trough the project we strengthen the European character of our schools.
This project will also enhance the STEM orientation of our schools. |
