FIELD TRIP TO HANEDA AIPORT AND JAL SKY MUSEUM

Exploring Transportation Systems at Haneda Airport

How do airport systems meet the needs of our community? Grade 2 took a trip to Haneda Airport to find out firsthand. Today we investigated the different systems at the airport and how they work.

These are the outcomes we wanted the girls to attain by the end of today in addition to having a great time.

I am able to...
  •  name multiple systems at Haneda Airport.
  • explain how more than one system at the airport works.
  • explain the purpose of multiple systems at the airport.
  • explain multiple factors to consider when choosing to travel by airplane (speed, distance, cost, safety, environmental impact).
Here are some pictures from our field trip today to JAL Sky Museum and Terminal 2 Haneda Airport. Thank you very much to our chaperones for joining us!

What We Learned:

"I learned that an airplane has about 4 doors." (Boeing 777)

"I learned that some airplanes land with their front looking down or up."

"I learned that ground handling and cargo staff help where airplane park."

"I learned that airplane can't go backward."

"I learned that there is an orange thing that let's people know where airplanes are."

"I learned that every three minutes an airplane arrives at Haneda from another airport."

New Questions We Have:

"How can an airplane land safely?"

"How many people can an airplane lift?

"I'm curious about how many pilots there are."

"How do the pilots wake up in an airplane?"

"What is a plane made of?"

"How do airplanes fly in the air when the rain comes?"

"How are airplanes made?"

"Why can airplanes fly?"
