Description

The present didactic strategy generates in students a relationship between a topic of their interest such as aviation and the physical concepts treated in the field of aerodynamics, specifically Bernoulli's law. Intellectual skills such as asking questions, formulating and contrasting hypotheses will be stimulated in students, which will help in the learning process. The project method encourages young people to make observations, asking questions, collecting, analyzing and interpreting data, and also explaining results. The youth conducted experiments using a wind tunnel, reaching conclusions that allowed them to explain how the wing profile affects the lift force in an airplane.
