Building on the Properties of Air, this program introduces students to the science of flight and aerodynamics. Students now learn about lift, gravity, thrust and drag -- the four forces that make it possible for an airplane to fly. Our two hosts also examine Bernoulli's principle, Newton's Third Law of Motion, the Angle of Attack, natural and man-made objects that use airfoils and how a pilot controls the airplane. Students learn about the history of flight in Canada. - back cover.
