It’s a Gas: Math and Science of the Blimp

The workings of the blimp provide the framework for teachers to illustrate the concepts students must understand to pass Ohio’s proficiency tests. This project is designed for the 7th- through 9th- grade classroom. It consists of 11 instructional television programs, 12 lesson plans and classroom activities. Our goal is to help students learn quicker, in more depth and with better retention.
