Learning to Fly

Hi boys and girls, I am glad that you all enjoyed the SMARTboard lesson and most of you requested me to email the lesson to you which I have done so. Since this week we are learning about flight and we have and will continue to carry out many fun experiments in the classroom to explore the properties of air. Why not learn more about flight by soaring into the following websites.

Science Fun with Airplanes website provides an excellent introduction and review on air and its properties.

AllStar Network: What Makes an Airplane Fly is a great resource in learning about flight. Has explanations and animations explaining many aspects of flight.
