Students build hot air balloons and hovercraft.
Two of the projects that the students and teachers worked together on were hot air balloons and a hover craft. The balloons were constructed from tissue paper. Students had several problem solving activities that had to solve in order to construct the hover craft. In addition, they learned about the properties of air, Newton's Laws on Forces and Motion, and center of gravity and balance. Teachers and students took turns riding the hover crafts in the parking lot.
