This lesson package on The Properties of Air and its relation to flight starts with an overview of the main characteristics of air including weight, its place in space, movement, and atmospheric pressure. It then looks at how moving air creates lift for flight, why we need air as well as some applications for the properties of air.

The package contains diagrams, examples, and explanations. It includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), 5 embedded videos, and a student lesson handout as a word document that follows the lesson. Additionally, each resource comes as a Google document or slide which has already been formatted and is ready to upload to your Drive with a single click.

• Characteristics of air

Buyer Comments:

• "I broke this down into two parts. I also made clozed notes where I had all sentences in the notes and only bold/underlined certain words for students to write down. We also did the demonstrations in class for the in person group but the videos of the demos was perfect for the students at home!
• "I used the PP during our synchronous time via Zoom. Students liked the embedded videos and were engaged."
• "Made my last lesson in flight a lot easier"
• "Great Resource! Thank You!"

--------------------------------------------

This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.

• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

--------------------------------------------

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
