As young students play, they develop an understanding of science and engineering concepts. “Our Airplane Adventure” provides an opportunity for students to imagine being a pilot and getting ready to fly, as they use a checklist to make sure the airplane has all the needed parts and is ready to fly, just as actual pilots do each time they fly. Through music and movement, students can discover how the different parts of an airplane help make it fly, as well as what those movements look and feel like.
Through this learning experience, students will begin to explore and develop language describing an airplane, its parts, and how the whole plane works together as a system.
