Future of flight - theory of flight
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.
If the original physical materials boxes are not available then most of the challenges can be adapted to use items that are easy to find in most classrooms or around the house.
Welsh language versions of the guidance documents are also available.
