The Beginner's
Guide to Propulsion is a Web site of information prepared by
the NASA Glenn Research Center to help you better understand aircraft
engine propulsion. Click on the Beginner's
Guide Index to access the list of slides. Open the slides entitled
Air Temperature,
Engine Temperature Ratio (ETR),
and Gas Turbine Propulsion.
Read the descriptions. Use these descriptions as background information
to help you complete the activity. Notes: A. The pushing of the balloon inside the flask by atmospheric pressure is presented as an aid in visualizing the effects of air temperature, pressure, and force.
Assessment: You will be assessed on the extent of detail provided by your observations and by the use of scientific concepts in your explanations as recorded in your journals. Evaluation: You will be evaluated on your ability to research an extension question and present to the class information found in the Beginner's Guide to Propulsion on the World Wide Web. You are expected to be on task, and journals will be randomly checked. Submitted by: Norma Holowach, Lakeview High School, Cortland, Ohio |
