Celebrate the 107th Anniversary of Orville Wright’s historic flight from Fort Myer to Alexandria and test the basic principles of flight! Experiment with forces – gravity, lift, drag, and thrust – and make two kinds of paper airplanes. Like the Wright brothers, work together as a family to create a hypothesis and conduct test flights to learn which design is the best!
Family Fun Days are designed to engage the entire family, recommended for ages 4 and up. Contact The Lyceum’s Education Coordinator with additional questions at 703.746.4994.
