Grade Level: K-4
Time Required: 45 minutes
In this activity, the teacher guides the students in demonstrations of condensation and air flow to simulate different weather conditions. This activity will lead to a discussion of open cockpits as gliders evolved into lightweight engine-driven airplane designs. The activity culminates in opportunities to use the weather-conscious clothing typical of early aviators as the students pretend to be pilots.
