Build your basic understanding of winter weather.
Students learn basic aviation terminology and practice simple controls using a mock flight simulator and then fly UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or "drones").
Welcome to Teaching With Drones, a collection of activities that get students using drones to learn about engineering and technology.
Resource Type: Activities
Students will conduct a simple performance test of aUAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or "drone"). They will determine how long the UAV can remain airborne before its battery runs out of power.
Students will test the ability of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or "drone") to lift and carry a weight. The weight simulates a payload, such as sensors or supplies, transported by the UAV.
Students use a UAV to pick up and carry a small payload, retrieving it from the far side of the room. Students design a "sky hook" to grab the payload.
Students will fly their UAVs over a scale-model town that has been struck with a disaster, surveying the damage via a camera on the UAV.
Students plan a disaster relief mission employing a UAV (drone) by filling in a comic book-like storyboard of engineering design steps.
Students use a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or "drone") to conduct a simulated disaster relief mission.
Design and conduct an experiment to find a practical maximum speed your UAV can fly.
