Activity
Description:
The
kids learned about computer maps and charts used by
aviation pilots, how 3-D models of the ground are made,
and what air traffic controllers use to monitor planes in
the sky during take-off and landing. They also made their
own computer generated charts.
Some
of the things they learned:
What
are some of the names of the charts that airplane pilots
use?
How
do pilots know how to get from one airport to
another?
How
do air traffic controllers separate and identify
airplanes?
What
does a pilot have to do before taking a
flight?
How
do you make a chart from aerial photographs?
How
do you make a 3-dimensional terrain model of the surface
of the earth?
