Grade 6 Air and Aerodynamics March 27
Lesson Plan
KSAs: #1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11
6-5: Describe properties of air and the interactions of air with objects in flight
Specific Learning Outcomes:
2. Provide evidence that air is a fluid and is capable of being compressed, and identify real life examples of these
properties in everyday applications
3. Describe and demonstrate instances in which air movement across a surface results in lift Bernoullis
Principle
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
1. Analyze properties of air as a fluid and compression
2. Recognize examples where air is compressed
3. Identify principles of air movement

Transition to Body:
Robyn Volek
By having a variety of learning styles, I will meet a range of students and keep them engaged
Closure (5 min.):
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning:
- As an anchor activity, review how temperature and pressure are related
