Properties of Air
This is what Mr. Leduc asks us to imagine when he references the air molecules around us.
What are (Yellow) Balloons.
This force of flight changes depending on the amount of passengers, cargo, or fuel that are on the plane.
What is, Weight.
This creature shouldn't technically be able to fly given its body structure, but accomplishes flight due to its set of 4 wings.
What are, Bees.
This advantage of flight refers to our ability to assist people in hard to reach places when they are hurt or sick.
What is, Medical Transportation.
This property of air refers to the way in which air moves quickly or slowly depending on its environment.
What is, "Air is Affected by Temperature".
This force of flight drives the plane forward, typically through engines or propellers.
What is, Thrust.
This living thing uses its long neck to balance itself while its in flight, and kicks its feet off the water to takeoff.
What is, a Canadian Goose.
This disadvantage refers to the toxic chemicals that enter our air due to fumes from flying machines.
What is, Air Pollution.
This property of air refers to the way in which air can be trapped and squeezed.
What is, "Air has Pressure".
This force of flight is manipulated by a plane's flaps and landing gear.
What is, Drag.
These are the types of feathers that birds have close to their body to keep themselves warm.
What are, Downy Feathers.
This advantage refers to our ability to visit new brand new places that we couldn't reach before.
What is, Travel / Tourism.
This property of air refers to the way in which air is made up of different molecules (water, pollen, dust, etc.) and how these molecules allow it to have "mass".
What is, "Air Takes Up Space".
This force of flight is controlled by the "angle of attack", which allows for lower air pressure on top of the plane and higher air pressure underneath.
What is, Lift
This is the amount of times that a bee will flap its wings in one second.
What is, 230 times per second.
This disadvantage refers to the chemicals onto crops, but also onto other forms of wildlife by mistake.
What is, Crop Dusting.
