Our Wild Wizards will challenge your mind and foster collaboration in this homeschool science and engineering series. Classes take place in an outdoor classroom environment (weather permitting). Homeschool classes at Edison Ford are aligned with Next Generation Science and Florida State Standards. Classes are a combination of instruction and hands-on activities that are designed to facilitate homeschool or virtual science education.

In this session, students take off as they learn the physics of flight. This class will focus on the four forces of flight, Newton’s Laws of Motion, the Coanda effect, and Bernoulli’s principle.

Students will build and fly gliders, giving them the opportunity to experience the various mechanisms of flight such as the ailerons, rudder, and flaps. In addition, they will explore energy transfer as they stomp a rocket into the sky!
