What is an Airfoil design?

Gravity, Lift, Thrust, and Drag An airfoil design allows air to move quickly over the top, and slower at the bottom, creating lift!

What is the difference between tire tread evidence and tire track evidence?

Tire tread evidence is when you look and analyze the individual tire, and tire track evidence is when you analyze the entire track itself.

Explain Bernoulli's principle of lift. 

When air moves faster it creates lower air pressure, but when air moves slower it creates higher air pressure causing it to push upward creating lift.

What is the nutrient cycle ?

The nutrient cycle is the exchange of elements between living and non living things in our ecosystem.It's like nature's recycling system. The cycle shows how essential nutrients travel through the environment, providing every organism what is needs to live!
