Explore flight, aerodynamics, lift, and aviation history with this First Flight STEM project for Grades 4–7. This aviation challenge investigates how planes fly, how lift is generated, and how early flight developed through a hands-on, NGSS-aligned PBL activity.Students will examine forces such as lift, drag, thrust, and gravity, and analyze how wing design and airflow enable flight. Through modeling, testing, and structured worksheets, learners build understanding of aerodynamics and engineerin
