Explain Bernoulli's Principle using the following words: air pressure, wing shape, wind, airplane
Bernoulli’s Principle explains that because of a plane’s wing shape, wind moves faster over the top of the wing, causing lower air pressure there than underneath, which helps the plane lift into the air.
