Astronomie 3 Sptmna 1
!"#$%L
This lesson introduces aviation from the earliest curiosity of man as they observed birds in
flight, to the advances being made every day. Students are encouraged to realize that with
encouragement, imagination and determination, anything, including space flight, is
possible for them to achieve.
Lecia prezint aviaia, pornind de la curiozitatea oamenilor din vechime care au observat
zborul psrilor, pn la progresele zilnice de acum. levilor li se arat c, avnd susinere,
imaginaie !i determinare, ei pot realiza orice, inclusiv zborul spaial.

-An Introd(ction to F,i&ht. / -The Wri&ht "rothers.
/eople1s curiosity throughout history introduces this lesson with a short video of the
*right "rothers1 first attempts at flight. Students hear how the brothers e2perimented with
a variety of designs, never giving up, before they were successful. Their determination and
imagination is emphasized.
-*rime,e no0i(ni despre 1)or. / -Fra0ii Wri&ht.
,n introducerea acestei lecii este prezentat un scurt film dedicat primelor -ncercri de a
zbura ale frailor *right. levii aud cum cei doi frai au e2perimentat diverse forme ale
aparatelor de zbor !i nu au abandonat pn nu au reu!it. &ccentul se pune pe determinare !i
imaginaie.
3ideotaping activity 4 This is a role.playing activity to allow students to describe their own
ideas about inventing an airplane. 0ivide the class into teams #pairs, if possible%. The
narration instructs them to ta$e turns describing #by using the picture on the Learning
Station% how they would build an airplane. ncourage each team to discuss their plan prior
to their presentation. ach team then presents their ideas by presenting one or two full
sentences each.

+ands.on activity 4 Students build a simple paper airplane to fly. They must listen
carefully to the directions given on how to fold their paper correctly. Teachers may want to
provide preprinted patterns #provided on your dis$% or instruct students to match the
folding lines with the image on the Learning Station. /rovide enough paper for students to
try a number of different folding techni8ues and designs. This activity will allow teachers
to observe their students1 motor s$ills, listening aptitude and ability to follow directions.
Optional activity encourage experimentation with wing and tail design by testing the
flight patterns and ability. Talk about your observations.

should be instructed to share parts as much as possible. The narration advises them to
consider the weight of the spaceship while constructing. Some parts may also be
completely unnecessary. Students then should e2plain their reasoning.
& hando(t similar to this activity is also provided. Students can cut out and paste together
as few or as many parts as desired to create their own spaceship. &s$ the students to
