1How are birds able to fly? Is it because of...
- ATheir hollow bones, and the shape of their wings, and the way they flap their wings to generate thrust
- BThe way that they generate thrust
- CThe way they can glide in the air
2How would you describe the similarities between a bird and a plane? Or, what is the major similarity that the two have? Please give a detailed answer...=D
- AThey both have tails
- BThey both have wings
- CThey both use lift, and have the same shaped wings
3What is the greatest difference between a plane and a bird?
- AOne is an animal and one is a machine
- BOne is bigger than the other
- CBirds have feathers, and planes don't
- DPlanes are powered by a propeller or a jet engine, whereas birds create their own thrust by flapping
4How are helicopters aerodynamic?
- AThe shape of the body is aerodynamic
- BThe shape of the body is aerodynamic, and the blades slice through the air, and how the air hits the airfoil
- CThe way the air hits the airfoil
5Birds have microscopic magnets in their beaks, which allows them to know where they are going while flying. So, it's like birds that migrate have a little compass on/in their beaks. True or false?
- ATrue
- BFalse
6A bird needs feathers to fly because the feathers provide a strong enough surface to catch the wind. Birds also need feathers to keep themselves warm, and protect them from the rain.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7Who made the first hot air balloon?
- AGean Francois de Roziér
- BThe brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier
- CVijaypat Singhania

9Does thrust push or pull?
- APush
- BPull
10Does drag push or pull?
- APush
- BPull
11Does lift push or pull?
- APush

12Does weight push or pull?
- APush
- BPull
13Why do birds flap their wings?
- ATo generate thrust?
- BTo generate lift?
- CTo generate lift, with thrust? So both Lift and thrust
14What scenario(s) is drag helpful/crucial in? Please choose a detailed description, so be specific on what you mean! =D
