Description

Do helicopters need kind of energy to stay within the sky than an airplane? What pushes a rocket to leave the atmosphere? Why can airplanes have smaller motors than helicopters?

Help your students learn the answers to those and other questions!

Written for educators, homeschoolers, parents–and kids!–this fully illustrated book provides a fun mix of projects, discussion materials, instructions, and subjects for deeper investigation across the basics of homemade flying objects. With the projects on this book, you’ll be able to spend more time learning and experimenting, and not more time planning and preparing.

Complete with download links to PDF templates that expand your teaching, that is your one-stop manual for learning about, interacting with, and being eager about airflow, gravity, torque, power, ballistics, pressure, and force.
