Field Trip in the Sky
Flying in a Thermal
(<< Transcript)

 

I take my students on aerial field trips because we can see things from the sky that we can’t see so well from the ground. But more excitingly, we can have a feel of the sky and learn its shape, and what’s going on in the air — because although the air is sometimes invisible we can feel it with the airplane.
