Sky High
As altitude increases, Earth’s air gets gradually thinner: birds and airplanes need enough air, balloons rise into thin air, and satellites orbit above almost all of it.

What your child will figure out
- Scroll through one continuous sky and identify the gradual change from dense lower air to orbit.
- Connect birds, airplanes, balloons, and satellites with the physical reason each belongs at its height.
- Place a bird, airplane, and satellite into physically fitting broad altitude regions.
- Repair novel height errors by distinguishing air-supported flight from sideways orbit.
The levels
- Ride the whole sky
Predict where blue fades, then climb from ground to the Space Station.
- Meet the travellers
Observe why a bird, airplane, balloon, and satellite belong at different heights.
- Build a possible sky
Place three travellers into broad regions where their movement can work.
- Fix the impossible sky
Transfer the air-versus-orbit model to two deliberately mixed-up objects.
Ready when they are.
