Drill down into Science topics like Physics and you would think that the resources might get a little “dull”. Not so! Check out Science > Physics > Principles of Motion > Force. Inside this area is a wonderful example of how students can be engaged by some of these complicated STEM topics. Check it out in today’s Site of the Day - I Want to Fly!

This cartoon based interactive site uses a character named Toby to introduce many physics concepts including the principles of motion and force. Toby the wizard wants to fly! Learn how three items can help him accomplish this goal. Real world information and video can be found on this site, helping to further explain the properties of flight.
