The Inventing Flight video series explores the history and development of flight with special focus on the Wright Brothers from Dayton, Ohio, the inventors of the first practical airplane. In this video episode, your host takes you on a tour around the world through the history of the dream of flight. From the story of Icarus in Greek Mythology, through the age of Chinese kites, on to Leonardo da Vinci's flying designs, French balloonists, and the Gossamer Albatross' historic human propelled flight across the English Channel in the 1970s, we see how flight has captured our imagination, affected our history, and brought us into the new millennium.

We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.Source: Inventing Flight
