Distance Learning Module: Types of Flight

This week we’re looking at different aspects of flight and ways that we can explore those at home.

Our world is full of things that fly! Birds, bats, insects, and other animals have bodies that allow them to soar, glide, and buzz through the air. Humans achieve air travel through all types of vehicles: jets and airplanes, helicopters, blimps, gliders, and even hot air balloons. In this module, we’ll break down the big topic of aviation and aerospace engineering by exploring the different types of flight and categories of human-made aircraft.

Note: Adult supervision is required for today’s hands-on activity, which involves flame!
