Planes,
helicopters, hot air balloons, birds and insects have
one thing in common. They can FLY!!!
Beginning with the Chinese in 1200 B.C., we have always
been fascinated with flight. From using kites for military
signalling to Sir Isaac Newton and Daniel Bernoulli
developing scientific principles that explain how an
airplane flies, to the inaugural flight in an airplane
by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, we have wanted
to soar.
We have provided you with links to compliment your curriculum
with interesting hands-on activities to try in the classroom
or at home.
