✈️ Hands-on learning at its best! 8th graders in Mrs. Wilkinson’s PLTW class have been learning the correct vocabulary terms used to describe flight. Today, students put those terms into action by working in groups to guide a blindfolded teammate through an obstacle course by only using words like yaw, roll, pitch, climb, ascend, and descend.
This was super fun, highly engaging, and a fantastic example of learning by doing!
