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?
