Flight

FlightGood afternoon ladies and gentleman, boys and girls - this is your Captain Dr Rob speaking. Welcome aboard today's episode of SCOPE - where we will look at all the science behind flight. Today we will be cruising thanks to all the pressure exerted by air. Remember if it wasn't for air we wouldn't get up there!

Today's destinations include helicopters - what makes them spin? Why are birds such good fliers? Are balloons just full of hot air? So sit back, strap yourselves in and enjoy our super sonic trip through flight as once again the ordinary becomes extraordinary under the SCOPE!
