Description
Bring science to life in your classroom (or at home!) with “Flying High: The Science of Flight” — a fun, visually engaging STEM educational video designed to help students understand how flight works in a simple and exciting way.
Through colorful animations and real-world connections, students explore key scientific concepts like lift, air movement, wing design, and aerodynamics — all explained in a way that’s easy for young learners to understand and remember.
Perfect for busy teachers and parents, this ready-to-use video saves planning time while keeping students fully engaged.

- How birds and airplanes are able to fly
- The role of wings in creating lift
- How air movement helps objects stay in the air
- The difference between flapping and engine-powered flight
- How objects go up, glide, and come down
Perfect For
- Primary classrooms
- STEM lessons
- Science centers
- Homeschool learning
- Distance learning
- Early finishers or revision
NGSS Alignment
