Grades K-9: Learning to Stay in Control the Wright Way! FREE from NASA



Join NASA to learn how Wilbur and Orville Wright developed and used the “4 Tools of Aeronautics” for flight testing to build a kite, glider, and eventually a working controllable flying machine. Students will learn about the 4 forces of flight and the three axis of rotation to control and then test their glider to land in a pre-determined target area.
