The Cradle of Aviation Museum came to Giblyn and the sounds of excitement echoed in the fourth grade hallway at Giblyn as the students participated in hands-on lessons focused on learning the basics of aviation.
A teaching representative from the Cradle of Aviation Museum taught the students through rich vocabulary, model plans, and demonstrations. The highlight of the visit was when students were able to experiment with various ways to create their own gliders and to compete to see which glider would fly the farthest.
"We are very fortunate to be involved in this wonderful program," said Amanda Muldowney, principal. "It truly adds another level of interest in science and brings it to life for our students."
The Cradle of Aviation Museum has partnered with the Freeport Schools to teach a series of lessons throughout the school year that span the science curriculum.
