Easy Lesson Plan: Build an Airport

Posted by Ken Scheel on Aug 13th 2024

Prepare for takeoff!

There are so many aspects to airports: luggage, safety, communication, and preparing for takeoff. Expand your students' worlds and knowledge all in one activity!

Consider building:

- Airplanes (simple or advanced)

- Control tower

- Runway

- Security

- Gates

- Baggage Claim

As always, have students walk around and see what others have built!

Here are some extensions to this project :)

- Learn more about the intentionality behind a runway's direction

- What goes into landing an airplane and preparing it for takeoff?

- What is it like to go to an airport?

- Try to build a specific airport, how do airports differ and why?
