1. STEM Education with Drones Classroom STEM examples & Ideas from you!

2. Science 1. Remote sensing - use your drone to check out something that isn’t readily visible. 2.Change over time - Repeat photography to document change 3.Validation of a currently collected satellite data parameter – NDVI or LAI (could use MND to make a comparison to data that has been collected) 4.Student ground truth of a data parameter. For example there is a GLOBE site definition for tree type that this could help with, could help with site definition and description of a study sight. 5.

3. Technology 1.What technology facilitates the remote operation of UAS? How does it compare to RC cars? Bluetooth mice? 2.

4. Engineering 1.Engineering design - What is the lifting power of your drone? How does it compare to helium balloons? How can you alter the payload capacity? 2.

5. Mathematics 1.Figuring out how high your drone is. (What methods give the best estimates for drone height?) Place a marker of a known size on the ground. Use an inclinometer. Scale: learning to measure remotely through the use of a known measurement on the ground. 2.How do you figure out how high a plane is? Check “The window seat” Use sitting in the window seat of a commercial airliner as a concept? 3.Devise an experiment to measure your drone’s land speed. Fly over a football field 4.
