An image of a drone that has barely taken off the ground. In this lesson, students learn about forces, net forces, and acceleration.

Students will be able to visualize the system of forces involved when a drone lifts in the vertical dimension by determining the lifting force provided by the drone’s rotors.

Students will also practice planning and carrying out investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, and using mathematical and computational thinking.
