The concept of flight for human beings has always been closely tied to imagination. To fly like a bird requires a mind that also soars. Therefore, good teachers who want to teach the scientific principles of flight recognize that it is helpful to share stories of the search for the keys to flight. As a result, the authors share some of these with you, using technology.

Help your students’ knowledge of flight reach "higher altitudes" by implementing these suggestions into your science curriculum.
