Explore Bernoulli's principle with Professor Faber and learn how air moves across a surface to create lift. Examine the forces that affect a bird in flight, such as lift, drag and thrust and identify features that make birds particularly suited for flight. Finally, experiment with different wing and body combinations with Tommy and marie as they seek to understand their underlying characteristics.
