Image Research to design an aircraft

You can be an inventor in the Scitech Lab to find out about the four fundamental forces of flight and see how they apply to rockets, planes and other aircraft. This creative session will test your design skills before building a wooden glider to sail across the skies!

Take it home to modify for even better flight capabilities, then show it off to your friends and family.

What is this mysterious floating string, you say? Why, it's a siphonophore. 🤔 . This deep-sea predator, discovered off the WA coast in an underwater canyon, may be the longest animal ever seen at 150ft long. That's about the length of two blue whales! . 📸: @schmidtocean . . . #deepsea #underthesea #marinelife #marinescience #sciencefact #westernaustralia
