Aviation has a profound use of these subjects when building flight plans. By creating a curriculum that embraces geometry, trigonometry, physics, meteorology, geography, topography and astronomy, students learn to solve complex problems using multiple math and science disciplines. edustation STEM Lab and edustation Flight Simulators deliver a unique STEM learning platform that is engaging and fun for girls, boys and teach- ers. In addition to math and science skills, it incorporates researching aviators and writ- ing a paper to support creative writing. The results are impressive. How? edustation K12 Manual. Starting a Flying Club in elementary, middle and high schools is a great way to introduce kids to the application of math and science. Incorporating its STEM Lab curriculum into the school's STEM pro- gram advances knowledge and embraces the Common Core and Next Gen Science Standards. The edustation K12 Manual comes with each simulator and is designed to teach the non-aviator teacher the basics of flying so there is no need for the teacher to have experience in avia- tion. The lessons are coupled with mis- sions in the flight simulator, so the skill development is progressive. The K12 manual contains lessons with teacher PROJECT BASED LEARNING: THE GOAL IS YOUR SUCCESS notes for topics to explore. The edus- tation STEM Lab curriculum is in BETA and with regular updates. The complete cur- riculum will include a video tutorial for each lesson plan. Using video lesson plans trains the teachers so that the con- tent is presented in a uniform manner that is exciting for the students. The goal is to support the student's math and science curriculum with Project Based Learning.
