Flying High

Just how do birds, insects and some mammals (bats, flying squirrels) do it? How do they conquer gravity and soar through the air? In this fascinating program, learn about the basic principles of natural flight. Find out how a bird’s wing is structured, how bumblebees hover and flying squirrels glide. Role-play the different flight techniques of hawks and songbirds. We’ll also study how other living organisms such as spiders, caterpillars and even seeds make use of air currents to move from one location to another. An informative and interactive introduction to flight!
