Part C: Science Time
Today we’re going to learn how things that fly need air. The two big ideas are that air has pressure, and moving air creates differences in air pressure, which can be used to develop lift. You will…
• watch an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy – Flight

Part D: Experiment – Make an Aircraft
Wow! You’re making great progress – you should be very proud of yourself 🙂
Next, onto building your very own aircraft after learning about the properties of flight. Gather the materials needed, then design and build an aircraft.
You’ve done such a great job today – next you get to go outside and try out your design. Think about what works well and how you may improve your design. Remember to maintain your “social distance” from others!
