Flight or Weather Air pressure experiments related to how the weather works or planes fly! Enquire Now Holiday science show all about air pressure! See flying toilet paper, shooting smoke vortex rings, exploding balloon dogs, tea bag rockets and much more! The children will find out all about air pressure in this fun science show! Concepts covered As this science show is primarily about pressure and air it can be tailored to demonstrate how weather works or how planes fly; just let us know which area you would like us to cover on booking this science show. When presented as a show on the weather: What is air pressure? Why are low and high-pressure areas important? How are clouds formed? What is our atmosphere made of anyway? What conditions are needed to cause tornados? What causes drought and how can scientists help? Whilst having a blast the kids also will gain an appreciation of meteorology and gain insight into how our climate operates. When presented as a show on flight: How do pressure differences relate to flight? What is the Coanda effect and how is this important for the design of plane wings? Specifically, the show demonstrations are designed so that students will understand 4 basic forces acting on flying objects; lift, thrust, drag and gravity Available as a holiday science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any site around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for kids on a variety of web conferencing platforms.
