How is technology transforming education?
“Proficiency with technology allows students to succeed in
college and careers. The Common Core Standards include
basic technology skills to help them succeed; but in the
bigger picture, they call for students to use technology to
help them learn in all areas.”
“Whether it be using tools to solve math problems, to
access information, or to promote literacy and
communication skills, technology is part of the
learning solution. It needs to be viewed that way
rather than a separate competency.”
-James Brock

AERODYNAMICS
How do airplanes fly?
The Physics of Flight
Forces & Motion
A force is a
push or pull on
an object.
Forces occur in
different forms
What Force is
pulling Lebron
James towards
the floor?
GRAVITY!
Gravity is an invisible
force that pulls objects
towards the ground.
Moving through air is similar to
moving through water.
Objects moving
through the air
experience the
force of Friction.
GRAVITY
DRAG
Gravity & Friction
Resist Flight
LIFT
THRUST
Flight Requires the
Forces of Thrust and Lift
Thrust is a force that sets objects into motion.
How do birds & planes
produce thrust & lift?
Gravity & Friction Resist Motion
Birds generate thrust
with their wings.
Airplanes generate thrust with
powerful engines that burn liquid fuel.
Wings Provide Lift
Fixed Wing Moveable Wing
How do wings
generate Lift?
Notice the pattern of air flow over the wings.
When air flows over a wing it accelerates.
Differences in air pressure
above & below the wing create lift.
LIFT
THRUSTGRAVITY
DRAG
Forces Acting on an Airplane
When the forces of thrust and lift are
greater than the forces of gravity and
drag, birds & planes can fly.
...and dragonflies
Bats too!

The SAMR Model
The SAMR Model
A model designed to help educators infuse
technology into teaching and learning.
Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the
model supports and enables teachers to
design, develop, and infuse digital learning
experiences that utilize technology.
SUBSTITUTION
Tech acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change.
AUGMENTATION
Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with with functional improvement.
MODIFICATION
Tech allows for significant task redesign.
REDEFINITION
Tech allows for creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

Electricity
A form of energy resulting from the movement of electrons.

Atoms contain Protons,
Neutrons & Electrons
Electrons make Electricity
Two Types of Electricity
1. Static Electricity
2. Current Electricity
Static Electricity
Current Electricity
The movement of electrons through a material such as a wire
Electric Circuit: a complete path through which electrons can easily move.
Current electricity flows through a
pathway called a circuit
Circuits are made from materials called conductors (metals such
as copper & gold) through which electrons easily move.
