Description
Let your imagination take flight as we join Sir Isaac Newton and prepare for aerospace adventures with his laws of motion. Design, build, and test fantastic flying creations including kites, planes, rockets, hovercrafts, and more. Learn all about the Wright brothers and their numerous contributions to aviation. Discover the star secrets of the universe with you own planisphere. Experiment with the laws of physics, gravity and motion during this amazing week of hands-on fun. The following topics will not necessarily follow the order listed below:
The Milky Way - Take a trip into the galaxy! Discover the universe as you build your own planisphere to take home with you. Make your own sundial as you discover what the universe has to do with telling time. Learn how to navigate using the stars with you very own take home sextant.
The “Wright” Stuff - Learn all about the amazing Wright brothers as you build your own rubber band powered plane and experiment with other flying devices. Learn about the 4 forces of flight and Bernoulli’s Principle. Discover that everything that flies does not always have wings.
