00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Thanks, Lori.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
For the next couple of minutes, we're going to take a look at a website that will reinforce

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
this show's hands-on activity you just saw.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It's called PlaneMath, and it's produced by Info-Use in cooperation with NASA.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
We're going to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, where students from T.T.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Minor Elementary School will help us show you what the PlaneMath website looks like.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
For Dan's domain on the NASA Connect website, go to planemath.com.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Click on Activities for Students, then choose PlaneMath Enterprises.

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
You'll need to visit each of the eight training departments.

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Each section gives important information about aeronautical principles and terminology.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
There are a number of geometry and algebra-related math concepts, and you'll also find plenty

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
of interactive activities that help you understand the concepts presented in the website.

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
The experts will guide you through training as you prepare to design an airplane based

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
on certain requirements.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
When your training is complete, enter the design department, where you meet your client

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
before beginning the design process.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Then you'll design the size of your fuselage and wings.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The building department will make a prototype, which you'll test in a wind tunnel.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Based on these results, you'll choose an engine for your plane.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
There will be a flight test to see if your plane can take off and reach its cruising speed.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
If it succeeds in taking off, you'll get results on how your plane flies under different conditions.

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Based on your results, you can either make adjustments to your plane and retest it,

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
or present your design to your customer.

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Well, that's PlaneMath.

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Special thanks to the Museum of Flight and our AIAA student mentors from the University of Washington.

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Teachers, if you would like a student mentor to help you in your classroom,

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
