  • LASSI: Unit 2 Middle School Informational Text
    LASSI: Unit 2 Middle School Informational Text Article #1 - Early Ideas about Flying By Melissa Hudson Vocabulary: feathers, movement, flap, aircraft, hot air balloon 1 The ancient Greeks believed only the Gods could fly. One Greek legend tells the story of Daedalus and his son, Icarus. King Minos imprisoned them on an island. To escape, they made wings of wax and feathers and flew away. Daedalus made it back safely. But, Icarus was so excited about flying, he did not hear his father's warning. He flew too close to the sun. The sun's heat melted the wax on his wings. The boy crashed to his death in the sea below. People had many ideas about flying. 2 In our culture, people wrote stories about strange ways to fly. For example, stories have been written about magic carpets, witches on broomsticks, and other forms of movement through the air. One early story is The Man in the Moon . In the story, the hero trains a flock of geese to fly him to the moon. People had many ideas about flying. 3 Birds inspired people to explore new ideas about flying. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the people inspired by birds. He made one of the first flying machines called the ornithopter (ôr n - th p t r). The machine had wings like a bird. To fly, a person had to flap the wings up and down. It was not very successful. 4 After trying many things, people were finally able to fly. The first way people flew was in a hot air balloon.

  • An Introduction and Brief History
    KITES An Introduction and Brief History SKY WIND WORLD.ORG FLYING A ROKAKKU - FLYING BUFFALO PROJECT HISTORY From China kites spread to neighboring countries and across the seas to the Pacific region. At the same time they spread across Burma, India and arriving in North Africa about 1500 years ago. They did not arrive in Europe or America until much later probably via the trade routes Kites are thought to have originated in China about 3000 years ago. One story is that a fisherman was out on a windy day and his hat blew away and got caught on his fishing line which was then when these areas developed. blown up in to the air. Bamboo was a ready source of straight sticks for spars and silk fabric was available to make a light covering, then in the 2nd century AD paper was invented and is still used to this day. PHYSICS Kites fly when thrust, lift, drag and gravity are balanced. The flying line and bridle hold the kite at an angle to the wind so that the air flows faster across the top than the bottom producing the lift. THE PARTS OF A KITE 1 THE SAIL • This can be made of any material such as paper, fabric or plastic. • It is used to trap the air. The air must have somewhere to escape otherwise it spills over the front edge and makes the kite wobble. This can be done by using porous fabric or making it bend backwards to allow the air to slip smoothly over the side.

  • The Invention of the Hot Air Balloon Claudette Balpe
    The Invention of the Hot Air Balloon Claudette Balpe When we think of the hot air balloon, we think of adventure and power—but also of simplicity. After all, the hot air balloon—which does not have an engine—is virtually noiseless. The hot air balloon is also mysterious—how can a heavy basket attached to a gas-filled balloon rise into the air ‘all by itself’? Students will be will be motivated by the desire to understand ‘how it works’ as much as by the desire to discover how the inventors of the hot air balloon came up with the idea and managed to build their invention. From mythology to play: how can man achieve flight? From the fables of antiquity and the myth of Icarus to the machines imagined or designed by Bacon and da Vinci (the best-known of the early flying machines), man has always been fascinated by flight. Children also share the dream of flight, as demonstrated by their interest in playing with paper airplanes, party balloons and other such objects. One way to begin the unit is by taking a survey of non-motorised flying objects with which students are familiar or with which they play. These might include paper rockets or airplanes, kites, balloons, para-gliders and gliders, for instance. This will familiarise the class with the topic and will allow the students to begin to identify certain characteristics. The ‘how’ of flight is a question that will emerge early on in the activity. Students will quickly identify causes, such as the muscles of the hand that throws a paper airplane; the wind and tension on the string or rope for a kite or para-glider; the pull of another airplane for the glider, etc.

  • Dear Education Professional;
    Dear Education Professional; Attached is a series of lesson plans that have been put together so that you will have material to enhance the hot air balloon presentation. Most of the plans are designed for use after the visit, but several can be used before hand to create interest and excitement. Feel free to photocopy any or all of the plans as you see fit. Your are encouraged you to use them in any manner you want to, expanding, editing, modifying and deleting as necessary to suit your particular classroom needs and the age of the children. Have fun! RESOURCE SHEET Student pilots can begin hot air balloon training at age 14 and test for their private license at age 16. A student pilot must receive at least 10 hours of flight instruction. Certain altitude, duration and soloing requirements must be documented in a log book. Then, a written, verbal and actual flight test must be passed in order to get a license. Additional experience and testing must be completed to secure a commercial license whereby the pilot can sell rides. HOT AIR BALLOONS by Donna S. Pfautsch (Trillium Press 1993) An excellent 75 pg. book of definitions, lesson plans, experiments and resources. Hot Air Ballooning Coloring Book by Steve Zipp (Specialty Publishing Co, 1982) Great for coloring ideas for primary students. A few of my favorite books that travel with me and I put on display during presentations: Hot Air Henry by Mary Calhoun (many school libraries have this) Ballooning by Dick Wirth and Jerry Young Mr. Mombo’s Balloon Flight by Stephen Holmes Smithsonian Book of Flight for Young People by Walter J Boyne The Great Valentine’s Day Balloon Race by Adrienne Adams How to Fly a 747 by Ian Graham (a very cool book for kids!)
