Newton's Laws of Motion
The motion of an aircraft through the air can be explained and described by physical principals discovered over 300 years ago by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666, when he was only 23 years old. Some twenty years later, in 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis." The laws are shown above, and the application of these laws to aerodynamics are given on separate slides.
Education Kits
Welcome to the United States Postal Service curriculum resource center. During National Stamp Collecting Month each fall and Black Heritage Month each spring, the Postal Service issues stamps that are particularly relevant and interesting for students. The USPS Stamps Services team and Dr. Jacqueline Hansen, professor for the College of Education at Murray State University in Kentucky, have created an education kit for each special stamp issue designed to bring their featured people and topics to life for you and your students. Each lesson begins with an induction that hooks into students' personal experiences and academic knowledge.

Open educational resources
Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. Although some people consider the use of an open file format to be an essential characteristic of OER, this is not a universally acknowledged requirement. The development and promotion of open educational resources is often motivated by a desire to curb the commodification of knowledge[1] and provide an alternate or enhanced educational paradigm.[2] Defining the scope and nature of open educational resources[edit] The above definitions expose some of the tensions that exist with OER:
