Aircraft Forces

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials are aimed at primary school children who are already familiar with the idea of forces as pushes and pulls, and that forces can change the motion of objects. Children think about the types of forces that apply to an aircraft during...

Aircraft Structures

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials allow students to investigate forces, motion and the use of resistant materials to make structures.

There are four activities which can be used in sequence or individually.

Helium balloons and lift

Airfield Weather and Landing Lights

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials look at how the weather can be observed and measured, and how this influences the working of an airfield. Students are also challenged to design and make electrical circuits for landing...

Aviation Development

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials allow primary children to consider the science and technology behind the development of flying machines. This encourages the investigation of forces and movement as well as looking at how products can be evaluated. There are five...

Can It Fly?

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials can be used to encourage children to think about what types of things can fly. There are three activities. Each activity is self-contained, and so can be run individually, or as a...

Communications

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials allow children to look at light, sound, simple electrical circuits and positional coordinates. Using the context of sending messages, children first consider the nature of codes by playing a simple game of 'Simon Says' using torches to...

Communications and Radar

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials allow students to investigate circuits using communication as a context. The principles behind radar are also examined. The activities can be used individually or together in a series of...

Crash Site Investigation

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials challenge students to investigate the evidence from the crash site of Lancaster bomber PD259. This activity should be treated sensitively. Whilst it looks at an incident that happened over 60 years ago, it should be remembered that...

Food for Pilots

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials help children to think about the food that they eat and the different types of food. In the context of designing meals for an airline, children consider which are the best foods for pilot's...

G-forces in Flight

Produced by Innovate Educate and Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, these materials look at the forces experienced by pilots in fast jets.

Using the RAF Red Arrows display team as a context, students look at the effects...
