Title information
Although there are many right ways to teach physics, there is a growing need for teaching by inquiry in context. This is the most effective method, ensuring classes are relevant and practical. With You When You Fly is an educator’s guide that addresses this need, providing a solid content base and actively engaging with topics necessary to the development of 21st century skills.
With You When You Fly: Aeronautics for Introductory Physics is founded on 26 aeronautics-related teaching ideas presented by seasoned high school and college physics teachers, and articles that have appeared in the American Association of Physics Teachers’s (AAPT) publication, The Physics Teacher. The lesson ideas are combined with NASA aeronautics education resources and ongoing research, as well as student experiences with flight.
