NASA CONNECT Tools of the Aeronautics Trade(c)

Rating:
Type: Library or Collection
Subject: Science and Technology
Collection: NASA CONNECT
Grade Level: Primary

Abstract: In NASA CONNECT Tools of the Aeronautics Trade(c), students explore the U.S. Customary and Metric systems of measurement, understand how to convert units in both systems, and are introduced to the four forces of aerodynamics: lift, weight, drag and thrust. Students also investigate the tools and techniques ... More »
