The ability to fly is an incredible skill that has allowed birds to inhabit every corner of the world. Even small birds can make incredibly long journeys across open water without rest. But how do they do it? 

In this class, students will learn what makes it possible for our feathered friends to take to the skies. Students will learn about the evolution of flight in birds, bird anatomy, as well as behaviors that allow this group of animals to fly. 

The class will meet one-time for 45 minutes. It is lecture-based with a slide presentation to look at pictures and diagrams to help understand the mechanics of flight. This class has no prerequisites and all students are welcome.
