First FlightAirplane Flight:X-Plane in the Classroom

First FlightYou will learn how to take off in an airplane.

You will learn about the different instruments a pilot uses to fly an airplane.

You will learn about potential and kinetic energy.

Potential Energy - energy that is said to be stored.

Kinetic Energy - energy that is said to be moving.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It simply changes forms.
