STEM Sky Explorers: The Science of Flight in Action!
Take your students on a high-flying adventure in "Flying High: The Science of Flight"! This engaging educational video introduces learners to the wonders of aerodynamics by comparing how birds and airplanes soar, glide, and descend through the sky. Through vibrant visuals and kid-friendly narration, students explore the principles of lift, thrust, and wing motion in an exciting and accessible way. Perfect for classroom lessons or at-home exploration, this resource brings science to life and shows just how amazing flight—and science—can be!
NGSS 1-PS4-1: Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate (linked to sound and motion during flight).
NGSS 3-PS2-2: Make observations and measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
NGSS K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem.
