Parts of an Airplane

Parts of an Airplane

Parts of an Airplane will be used to teach students, through hands-on activities, the different parts of an airplane and the major function of each of those parts. Activities will include putting together a model, puzzles and coloring sheets, the different parts of an airplane and the major function of each of those parts. Students will also see how these parts have advanced over the years since the first airplane and how these parts change based on the airplane’s intended function. Activities will include completing worksheets, comparing photographs and/or models and building several 3-D puzzles.
