Who was the scientist famous for his work on gravity and his three laws of motion?
Isaac Newton
Action of the propellers moving the plane forward
Thrust
Official name for the science of weather
Meteorology
Type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with speed and precision.
What am I?
Robot
What was the name of the meteorologist who ZOOMed with our class?
Kat Campbell
What is the invisible force that pulls everything down to the ground (Earth's surface)?
Gravity
Lift is caused by the variation in air pressure when air flows under and over an airplane’s wings. What is the OPPOSING force?
Weight
What is the weather instrument that measures wind speed?
Anemometer
Scientists who think of ways that people can use robots. They need to figure out what the robot needs to be able to do, decide what materials to make the robot from, and then come up with a way to make the robot actually work!
Robotics Engineer
Which teacher spent all her life in NC, loves camping, and coaches for Cary Crowns?
Ms Michelle
What is the resistance of motion when one object rubs against another?
Friction
This controls the up or down movement of an airplane’s nose. Airplanes are built with horizontal stabilizers in the rear to control this.
Pitch
How high did our model rockets fly?
250ft
Writing a group of instructions for a computer and other machines to process/execute. These instructions are typically used to solve a problem, or, to make larger problems shorter and easier to solve
Computer Coding
Which teacher is from California,loves to travel and served in United States Air Force for 10 yrs?
Ms Sandy
How high did the Cary Fire Dept hoist their ladder for our Egg Drops?
100 feet
Increase in the velocity (speed) of air or any fluid results in a decrease in pressure. When the air has to travel farther over the top of the airplane wing, it must also travel faster, which results in lower pressure. The shorter distance under the wings results in higher pressure, causing the airplane to move upward.
What am I?
Bernoulli’s Principle
What part of the model rockets also called “engines”, and make a rockets go?
Rocket Motors
Computers talk in this language and it only uses two digits, 0 and 1.
BINARY CODE
What did Lt. Col Jim Israel retired fly with in every mission?
Snoopy
Which Newtons Law am I?
An object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's 1st Law
The principle of flight is made up of four fundamental forces:
Thrust, Weight, Lift and Drag
Which Newton’s laws of motion are helpful in explaining the science of rockets?
All three laws, but specifically 3rd

Engineering Design Process
Who designed, built, and flew the first controlled, powered, heavier-than-air airplane on December 17, 1903, and conducted their first test flight was in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
