For ages 9+. This activity book tells the amazing true story of how
two bicycle-making brothers from Ohio, with no more than
high-school educations, accomplished a feat that forever changed
the world. At a time when most people still hadn't ridden in an
automobile, Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first powered,
heavier-than-air flying machine. Woven throughout the heart-warming
story of the two brothers are activities that highlight their
ingenuity and problem-solving abilities as they overcame many
obstacles to achieve controlled flight. The four forces of flight
-- lift, thrust, gravity, and drag -- and how the Wright brothers
mastered them are explained in clear, simple text. Activities
include making a Chinese flying top, building a kite, bird
watching, and designing a paper glider, and culminate with an
activity in which readers build a rubber-band-powered flyer.
Included are photographs just released from the Wright brothers'
personal collection, along with diagrams and illustrations. The
history of human flight and its pioneers, a time line, and a
complete resource section for students are also provided.
