Air & Aerodynamics
Students will explore the characteristics of air and the interaction between moving air and solids. They will learn that air is a compressible fluid, that it is composed of many gases, and that moving air can support solid materials in sustained flight. By studying birds and airplanes, they will learn a variety of adaptations and designs that make flight possible and that provide for propulsion and control.
