Physics took a field trip to iFly on Tuesday 11/7. They learned about the physics and engineering behind the design of the building and how they make the wind tunnel work. Then, students each got a chance to fly in the wind tunnel with an instructor. After flying, students calculated their own personal terminal velocity (how fast they would be "falling" if they were actually sky diving). They had so much fun applying what they have learned in the classroom to the real world!
