Produced/directed by Sean Cisterna ; written by Mary Cubello ; executive producer, Peter Whyte.
With Christian Potenza and Lauren Roy.
Designed to introduce young children to the study of science. This program examines the principles of flight and aerodynamics. With an understanding of the properties of air, viewers learn how air makes flight possible. They next see how the four forces: lift, gravity, thrust and drag, make it possible for an airplane to fly. Also examines 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. In addition, students learn about the history of flight in Canada. DVD features include chapter segments with DVD-ROM allowing access to teacher's guide.
Grades 5-8.
