Hang out and hang on to physics of flight! With these activities for middle-level kiddos, you’ll gain a basic understanding of flight and then construct and test a model hang glider. When your glider floats and skids the ground as desired, you’ll add a pilot and craft a storyline – where is the pilot going? Did they crash off the cliff, or did they land precisely as you planned?

• All-inclusive hands-on kit
• English + Spanish activity guide

• Ages 12-14
