Technological advances affect the relationship between humans and the natural environment.
What is air pressure?
What are four forces that apply to flight? What are the properties of air? How do we know that air is there? How can the forces of flight be changed to alter the planes performance? How are the properties of air used for flight? Is it possible for a superhero to fly? What is the next step in progress for flight? |
