A phenomena, boundary layer control (BLC), produced when visualizing the fluidlike flow of air is described. The use of BLC in modifying aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils, race cars, and boats is discussed. (KR)

Describes procedures for a hands-on activity for students that involves the construction of radio-controlled model sailplane (or glider) kits, exposure to basic aerodynamic theory and concepts, and some flight school on a midsized field. (ZWH)

Lists the most significant resource items on aerospace education which are presently available. Includes source books, bibliographies, directories, encyclopedias, dictionaries, audiovisuals, curriculum/planning guides, aerospace statistics, aerospace education statistics and newsletters. (BR)

Describes events of the championship including scale model competition, flight duration with a parachute, flight duration of a rocket-propelled glider, and egg lofting. Winners' names are given. (MA)

Describes an unusual learning experience available to eighth-grade students in Louisiana through exposure to a World War II B-25 simulator. The flight simulator is used to motivate students in the science area, develop an awareness of flight problems and challenges and provide exposure to the electronics career field. (BR)

Explains how to approach the school administration when soliciting funds for the skydiving club in the school. (GA)

A procedure for estimating the speed and distance of plane, assuming the speed of sound and the velocity of the plane are constant, is described. (KR)

The study of aerodynamics using a wind tunnel helps students develop an understanding of the basic scientific concepts of lift, drag, and stability and their applications. Directions for building a wind tunnel in the classroom and activities for using the tunnel are provided. (KR)

Describes how model rocketry can be a useful educational tool at the university level as a practical application of theoretical aerodynamic concepts and as a tool for students in experimental research. (BR)

Describes a kite day at an elementary school which incorporated principles of flight, the history, art and craftsmanship of kite making and flying and provided a fun multidisciplinary approach to a student-oriented activity. (BR)

Describes "Project School Flight" which is an idea originated by the Experimental Aircraft Association to provide the opportunity for young people to construct a light aircraft in the schools as part of a normal class. Address included of Experimental Aircraft Association for interested persons. (BR)

Describes a three-day program aimed at public school educators and community leaders. The goal was to encourage these people to include air age education in their programs. Activities included hands-on projects. (MA)

Lists 17 activities that can be used in the classroom to commemorate Wright Brothers Day. These include making bulletin boards, writing poems, and a field trip to the airport. (MA)

Reviews educational resources for classroom teachers. Resources include books, films, journals, science project guides, and public TV weather briefings. Addresses for obtaining the materials are provided. (MA)

Provides instructions for building a working model of a hot-air balloon, offering suggestions for a successful flight. Indicates that children can be involved in the projects, for example, by filling in colors in the panels of a balloon drawing. (JN)
