| Goal | The goal of the field trip to the Stuart Air Show and STEM Fair is to provide students with real-world applications of physics principles, such as aerodynamics, forces, motion, and energy, through interactive exhibits and live demonstrations. Students will explore how these concepts are used in aviation, engineering, and aerospace technologies, fostering a deeper understanding of the material covered in class and inspiring interest in STEM careers. |
| Description | During the field trip, students will experience various air show performances that demonstrate key physics concepts like thrust, drag, lift, and weight, as well as hands-on exhibits and presentations at the STEM Fair. The event features professionals from different STEM fields, who will offer insights into careers in aviation, engineering, and related sciences. Students will have the opportunity to engage with interactive displays, simulations, and real aircraft to see how physics theories apply to modern technologies. |
| Benefits | This field trip allows students to visualize and experience abstract physics concepts in an exciting and tangible way, reinforcing their classroom learning. By connecting physics lessons to real-world aviation and engineering applications, students are likely to develop a greater appreciation for the subject and may become motivated to pursue careers in STEM fields. Additionally, the collaborative and interactive nature of the event promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. |
