We
offered our surveys to all fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students in
our school [approximately 165 students]. There was one survey
aimed at kids who have flown before and one for those who haven't.
HAVE
NOT
FLOWN BEFORE
We learned that if these kids were to fly, they would want to go to
Korea, Florida, Hawaii, Washington, D.C., California, Europe, France and
Italy. The survey also showed:
 |
Most had been to
an airport before. |
|
Most had not had
an airport or airplane tour. |
|
Most think they
would like to travel by plane. |
|
A few feared
throwing up but only one was afraid to fly. |
|
HAVE
FLOWN BEFORE
Before they had taken a trip, half of the kids had been afraid.
They feared crashing, becoming unconscious, heights, and falling
out. Some of the kids took their trips after the 9/11/01
disaster. They shared different things that happened at the
airport. Jennifer said she had to go to the airport two hours
before her flight and she had to take off her shoes to have them
checked. Spanky said that police officers told them to empty their
pockets. The survey also showed:
|
Most kids took
their flights before the 9/11/01 disaster. |
|
The number one
coolest thing about airports or airplanes was looking outside
while the plane was flying. |
|
The next best
things were the food areas in the airport and the plane food. |
