Narrative Walk-through
Introduction Panel
Upon entering the exhibit space, visitors are pulled towards the intro-ductory panel by virtue of its wonderfully rendered image of a "winged" man falling from the skies. This winged man is based upon the legend
of Icarus, who, flying too close to the sun, plunged to the ocean when
the wax of his wings melted. The intro panel and the legend of Icarus symbolize the origin of mankind's desire to take to the skies. The dream-like colors and images composing the introduction also symbolize a dream in its infancy stage-a time in history when flight was merely fancy.
Graphic Panel A: Flight By Flapping
The 3-D da Vinci ornithopter beckons the visitors forward. They decide
to show a bit of discipline-and rather than run to the ornithopter-they continue the exhibit at the "Flight By Flapping." Visitors learn that Leonardo da Vinci, in the 15th century, was the first person to give human flight serious consideration. This panel explores the insatiable curiosity

Rotch, a meteorologist, founded and was director of Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston, Mass. He took the earliest American measurements of cloud height and velocities. In 1906, Rotch became the first professor of meteorology at Harvard. In cooperation with Teisserenc de Bort, he sent an expedition to explore the atmosphere above the tropical ocean, 1905-1906; ascended Mont Blanc six times, reaching the summit thrice; and ballooned above Paris in 1889.

LOS PRECURSORES DE LA AVIACIÓN A pesar de que gracias a los globos aerostáticos el hombre por fin pudo elevarse por los aires, evidentemente este medio presentaba múltiples inconvenientes como el hecho de que los globos no pueden ser dirigidos a voluntad (los dirigibles no aparecerían hasta 1843), así como su lentitud para desplazarse de un lado a otro. Fue por esas causas que muchas personas se empeñaron en investigar la posibilidad del vuelo por medios mecánicos y no sólo por la vía de la flotación y sentaron las bases necesarias para la realización del vuelo de los hermanos Wright en 1903. El primero de estos pioneros de la aviación fue Sir George Cayley (1773-1857), un baronet de Yorkshire quién investigó temas tan diversos como el desagüe y la recuperación de tierra, motores de aire caliente, tractores de oruga y los miembros humanos artificiales. Fue miembro del Parlamento inglés y fundador de la Asociación Británica para el Progreso de la Ciencia. Sir George Cayley En 1804, tras años de minuciosa investigación, construyó su primer aparato, un modelo de planeador calificado por algunos historiadores como el primer aeroplano. En los vuelos de prueba resultó muy práctico y cinco años después creó e hizo volar con éxito una máquina no tripulada de tamaño natural cuyas alas tenían unos 19 m Planeadores de Cayley, diseños de 1804, 1849 y 1852 respectivamente

Le premier engin plus lourd que l’air Les débuts de l’aviation, c’est aussi l’histoire de quelques hommes travaillant pour un but commun. Quelques-uns se sont immortalisés grâce à leurs brillantes innovations. Les plans des premières machines volantes ont été établis par Léonard de Vinci au début du XVème siècle.
Mais le premier homme, que l’on peut considérer comme le père de la navigation aérienne fut le Baronet Georges Cayley (1773-1857). Il construisit en 1807 ce que l’on considère comme le premier modèle réduit de planeur. Il s’agissait en fait d’un manche à balai sur lequel était montée une aile en forme de cerf-volant.
A partir de ce modèle, il conçut en 1849 un autre planeur capable de transporter un jeune garçonnet puis son cochet en 1853. Cayley continua ses recherches jusqu’à sa mort et suggéra plusieurs idées:
  • utiliser un moteur à combustion, prouvant qu’une surface courbe possédait une surface ascensionnelle propre des ailes biplans ou triplans offraient une force ascensionnelle propre optimum pour une structure légère et robuste.

The weather promises to be bright and fresh after the rain blows through from the remnants of 'Isadore'. Some interesting things will be happening in the sky:
  • Dan Flintjer of the Great Lakes Kitefliers Society (WNY) is going to train five (5) large Cody kites and attempt some interesting effects with the heavy lifting power of the combined Codys. Gary Mark from TKF will be present with his Peter Lynn Octopus and some of the other spectacular kites that he and Michelle have in their collection. Perhaps a train or two will take to the air and maybe even a stack of 12 Dyna Kites. And lots of fabulous kites from all the NWKA club members.

But when the try to build a larger model, it doesn't fly.

Home Headlines City World ... About Us How the aero and plane became one…
By Uzma Zafar

Man has always wanted to fly. Even the little kids like to jump up and down and ask questions as to whether they can too, fly like the birds and look down at humanity like the fantastic fairies. They flap their hands and fold their legs in their attempt to fly but when fall down, realize that they cannot really rise high with hands and their flight is only for the roads. So they better leave the sky to the birds and winged objects. They then rise high in other disciplines, making one of them their means of life.
But perhaps there were two brothers who thought otherwise and never gave up on their desire to flight and as all kids grow up, if they still haven't forgotten their desire to fly, they are told that they can fly, but on a winged bird that two men created before them. They are told that they won't have to rise on their fathers' shoulders all life to seek the pleasure of flight but there is another way to get the thrill, thanks to the Wright brothers who invented the fascinating aeroplane. They are told this when they are old enough to understand the issue.
The genius Wright brothers named their invention the aeroplane maybe because the flying machine is zealous and straight like an aero, and in parts it is shaped to fly like the plane of some wood. Maybe the plane and aero were the two objects with the experimentation of which the brothers were able to create the flying saucer; our favourite bird on the sky, the aeroplane, one that we couldn't just see but which could carry us along as well, taking us to the ride of our lives! And thus on 17th December each year, the anniversary of invention of aeroplane is celebrated , this time observed more enthusiasm that ever as it has been 100 years since the 1st flight.

  • IV. The Mathematical Application ... Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
    I. Introduction
    Today’s mathematics curricula and education goals should reflect the importance of mathematical literacy. Therefore this unit will attempt to reflect some of these new directions both in the content and the method of teaching. The new direction can be summarized in the following statements:1
    Students should learn the value of mathematics.
    To reduce math anxiety, students should become more confident in their abilities to do the subject.
    Students should become more confident and develop skills as mathematic problem solvers.
    Students learn to communicate and reason mathematically.
    Students should be able to think of diverse ways to solve a problem.
    The mathematics curriculum should also reflect the mathematical needs of the next decade. Today’s students will be working with tools and in an environment that will need an understanding of more complex thinking skills. Teachers and curriculum planners must understand and anticipate the changing needs of industries and the society. Henry Pollak2 (1987) summarized the mathematical needs and expectations for employers in the industrial sector of the future.
