Principles of Flight for Level 4
These lesson plans were developed by Tony Twinning from Marlborough Primary School in Heathmont VIC working with David Moore, a Science/Engineering student from Monash University.
Tony and David produced a 5 lesson unit of work on Flight which introduces the topic through a series of hands-on workshops where students put the principles of flight into practice by building a number of flying objects, culminating in the launching of their own rockets.
Marlborough Primary School feedback
At Marlborough PS David (3rd year Engineering) taught gifted students about astrophysics.
| 
Marlborough completed their placement
with the launching of the students
homemade rockets. Each child launched
their own rockets using a safety switch device to
ensure distance between the rocket and launcher.
Grade 4 student Comment:
"My rocket was awesome.
It went about 30 metres
into the air. The
ROCKETS WERE
THE BEST"
