MAKING TIME FLY Objectives The students will: Identify and research aviation events. Create a time line of aviation events. Analyze the information to interpret changes in aviation. Develop a presentation based on historical events in aviation. Standards and Skills Science Science in Personal and Social Perspectives History and Nature of Science Science Process Skills Communicating Investigating Collecting Data Mathematics Problem Solving Communication Background Each event in a time line can be thought of as a link to the past or future of something. Building an aviation time line based on drawings or models helps students visualize the numerous changes that have occurred in the history of aviation. The changes in aviation offer important clues to help students not only understand the concept of advancement and improvement, but also the reasons behind the changes. In 1783 the balloon became the first human-made device capable of lifting humans into the air. It allowed humans to fly, but balloons drift with the wind, and the speed and destination of each flight depended largely upon the weather. The limitations of ballooning inspired people to develop new technologies to expand the realm of flight. Change was inevitable.
