305 - Intro to Flight with Skeeters

This session presents an innovative STEM lesson that uses mosquito flight to teach aerodynamics while strengthening understanding of mosquito-related public health. Designed for grades 6–12 and aligned with CPALMS standards, the lesson blends physics, biology, and engineering through engaging multimedia, hands-on comparison activities, and real-world applications of mosquito control. By highlighting how mosquitoes generate lift using unique wingbeat mechanics, this module offers educators a fresh, classroom-ready approach to mosquito education that supports STEM learning and community awareness.
