High School students in Mr. Boldrick's engineering classes recently were
performing a lab using gliders to learn about principles of aeronautical
engineering.
By
launching the gliders students learned about the concepts of lift, control,
stalling and center of gravity. The goal was to figure out the best angles of
launch, release speed and weight distribution to obtain the optimal
straight-line distance.
The
class is exploring the various fields of engineering through real world
engineering labs and classroom instruction.
