Chalk Talk: Science Resources for Students
The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum is a wonderful educational place to visit but if that is not possible students can have fun and
learn about aviation and space programs at their website. There are activities, stories and behind the scene information.
Some of the games and activities include dressing the well dressed pilot, trying your hand at being a mail pilot, exploring early
commercial planes, and learning how to spot today's jets. This site might be just the inspiration for the next budding pilot.
