This lesson is great fun and my students always find it very engaging.
It’s a twist on the classic “traffic survey” fieldwork, where aircraft are counted instead of cars.
Students use the data on FlightRadar24 to sample the volume of flights coming from or going into an airport of their choice to calculate estimated flights per hour, and compare this with another airport to ascertain which airport is busier.
Students get the opportunity to experience a taste of what an air traffic controller goes through!
Fully resourced lesson with powerpoint instructions and student worksheet table to complete. It could easily be expanded into a multiple lessons.
