🚁Class is in session—and it’s time to take flight!
This week’s Crazy Science is all about Insect Flight 🛩️
Discover how real insects flap, hover, and glide—and then design your own flyers in our STEM flight challenge!
You’ll craft and test:
✈️ Paper planes and flappers
🎯 Hoop gliders
🌪️ Whirly-birds
Experiment with paper clips, folds, and shapes to see how distance, speed, and lift can change—just like real insect wings in action!

Fun Fact: Dragonflies were one of the inspirations for the invention of the helicopter. Truly, one of nature’s best fliers! They can hover and fly backwards, zip and zag through the air at speeds averaging 30 mph!
Think your design can go the distance? Come find out!
