Deadline to pay: December 4, 2026


ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT:

IFly requires each participant fill out a waiver in order to participate.


Periods 1-3: Fill out waiver at this link


Periods 4-6: Fill out waiver at this link

 

Grade and Subject: 7th grade, physical science


Educational Objective: The purpose of the field trip is to understand the science of forces, motion and energy through a real-world experience. Students will participate in a STEM class with IFly educator, watch a physics demonstration, take a safety training class, and finally take part in a lab activity and 1 flight. They will use algebraic thinking, understand fluids vs solids, and understand variability, uncertainty, and error in experimental results. We are preparing in class for the field trip by studying forces, motion and energy. There will also be a classroom lab as a follow-up to the field trip. 


Details of the day: Buses will leave immediately after attendance is taken in 1st period. We will check in with IFly at 9am and then split into groups to attend classes and indoor skydiving experience. Buses will return to the school about 2:00 for 6th period and pickup will be as usual, at the end of the school day.
