In NASA CONNECT Breaking Barriers, students learn about supersonic aircraft while investigating the nature of science. They look at how NASA researchers continue to modify their work as we build powerful machines that push hypersonic records to mach 10 and beyond. NASA scientists and engineers use algebraic equations to help them build models that will fly faster, longer and higher. Grades 6-8.

Mathematics and Statistics, Science and Technology
In NASA CONNECT Future Flight Equation, NASA engineers and researchers use geometry and algebra to design, develop, and test tomorrow's aircraft. Students build a portable glider catapult to test wing span design. The amazing Hyper-X aircraft is featured. Grades 6-8.

In NASA CONNECT Proportionality: The X-Plane Generation, students meet NASA researchers and other professional who describe the relationship between force, energy, and motion; discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable; and show students how proportionality and ratios are used to make scale models of spacecraft like the X-33. Students learn how scale models are more manageable than full-scale models when it comes to testing and retesting designs. Grades 4-8.
