Airplanes & the Science Connection
- Earth
Science
- 8.E.1 Role of Water: Explain the
relationship between the
hydrosphere and the atmosphere.
- Airplanes fly in the
atmosphere which can
negatively affect it.
- Astronomy
- 8.D.3. Effects of Tilt:
Recognize and explain
the effects of the tilt of
the Earth’s axis.
- Earth’s tilt affects seasons and
weather depends on seasons.
- An airplane ride can be dramatically affected by
weather.
- Biology
- 8.D.1. Change Over Time: Recognize and
describe that evolutionary change in species
over time occurs as a result of genetic variation
in organisms and environmental changes.
- Humans traveling by airplane can change the
entire species. As humans we may better deal
with jet lag.
- Chemistry
- 8.D.3. Chemical Reactions: Provide
evidence to support the fact that
common substances have the ability to
change into new substances.
- Airplanes today are mainly made of
aluminum. The element can rust and change
form.
- Physics
- 8.A.1. Motion: Develop an
explanation of motion using the
relationships among time,
distance, velocity and acceleration.
- Airplanes are in motion while in
the air. The distance time and
acceleration always varies.
- Thermodynamics
- 8.B.2. Heat
Transformations: Identify
and explain that heat energy
is a product of the
conversion of one form of
energy to another.
- The jet fuel that powers airplanes does not
disappear in the air. It changes from a gas to a
liquid
- Environmental Issues
- 8.B.1. Environmental Impact: Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate or magnify
many naturally occurring changes.
- Humans using airplanes can affect the atmosphere and an animals natural habitat.
