        NAVIGATION VECTORS - CIESE Online Classroom Project

      http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/vectors/index.html

Intended to help students in grades 9 through 12 learn the
principles of aviation navigation using real-time data.
The project consists of six pilot training lessons and the
Pilot Test Flight in which they solve an authentic real world
problem using science and mathematics. In the lessons
students learn how to use vectors, read real-time
weather maps, and track planes actually flying in the United
States skies.

The Teacher Area contains a teacher's guide for each lesson,
including printable student worksheets, a list of curriculum
standards that are satisfied by the project, and hands-on
activities. The site lists numerous links related to aviation
and physics as well as online experts who can be contacted
with questions on these subjects.

The project is developed and managed by the Center for
Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE) at
Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey.
