About Fantastic Flying Forces - digital session
In this interactive session, pupils will discover more about the forces involved in flight and how aeroplanes fly. Our presenter will explain how these forces came to shape Concorde, the only successful supersonic jet airliner.
What will my pupils do in the session?
Your class will follow simple experiments, which can be repeated with materials in any classroom. Pupils will:
- Investigate the four forces of flight
- Develop their understanding of how the forces interact with one another
- See aeroplanes up close
- Participate in interactive quizzes
- Apply their critical thinking to identify a mystery object.
