Virtual Skies
Free Aviation Course for Highschool Students
NASA offers Virtual Skies, a course in "aviation technology and air traffic management" for high schoolers (or advanced middle schoolers and some college students).
The 7-part course is made up of modules. Each module can be taken as its own course, apart from the others. The modules are: aeronautics, airport design, air traffic management, communication, navigation, research, and weather
NASA writes, "In each of the six content Modules (not including Aviation Research), your students will acquire and employ decision-making and collaborative skills while applying principles of algebra, geometry and calculus. The science portion of these cross-curricular materials includes concepts involved in RADAR, sound and meteorology as it applies to flight. Each section includes on-line activities complemented by downloadable print materials (PDF files) that can be used in the classroom to supplement the geography, mathematics and science concepts."
