THE SCIENCE OF
MOVING HUMANS
PLANES & BOATS
Although COVID-19 has suspended travel, it's still important to learn the principles of flight so you don't end up with an errorplane. Fold the world record paper plane, try being a pilot, and build your own cartesian divers.

FLIGHT HISTORY
Meeting the pioneers in aviation history allows us to understand the basic principles of flight that allow a heavy plane to soar
PAPER PLANES
Fold a series of planes and try to beat the world record. Discover how the shape and length of your plane's wings affect its lift and thrust.
HYDRAULIC MACHINES
Try an aircraft simulator to discover how airflow over the wings create stability. Use your new knowledge of hydraulics to build a mini lift.
SINKING SHIPS
How do cruise ships carry so many passengers? Discover density with lava lamps. But we can’t think of good boat puns. Canoe?
