Science Club was able to go to iFly on March 5th. Students were able to learn about the different forces during skydiving, the surface area ratios of good flights, and how the wind tunnel works. They were then able to jump into the wind tunnel with a flight instructor and simulate what an actual skydiving experience would feel like. The students had an amazing time!
