Award-winning video and lesson investigations for young children on the topic of lift.

Product Description

Video and lesson investigations on the topic of . Key concepts include:

  • Air passing over the top side of a flexible flat surface appears to make the surface ‘lift’.
  • Air passing over a flat flexible surface lowers the pressure of air above the surface.
  • The still air on the underside of the surface remains at normal air pressure. ‘Lift’ occurs because the force of air pressure is weaker above the surface.
  • The forces are no longer balanced and opposing each other, therefore movement occurs.
  • The faster the air moves across the surface, the less pressure it exerts on the surface.
  • The phenomenon, called Bernoulli’s Principle, is what gives aeroplanes their ‘lift’.
