"Let women fly!" Remembering history's first female aviators
On January 1, 1914, almost exactly 101 years ago, Anthony "Tony" Jannus, with passenger Abraham C. Pheil sitting next to him, landed in Tampa Bay in this Benoist XIV, marking the inaugural flight of the very first scheduled airline service in the United States, and the first scheduled airline service in the world to use heavier-than-air craft. From vintageairphotos.blogspot.co.uk
A team of MIT engineers have flown what was long thought impossible – a heavier than air craft that needs no moving parts for achieving powered lift. The 5-lb (2.3-kg) does not use propellers, turbines, or fans, but relies on a silent stream of ionized air to maintain steady flight.
The turbulent history of aviation is packed full of stories of perspicacious pioneers, ingenious engineers and flamboyant flyers. These are 10 of the wackiest, most ill-conceived and ill-fated flying machines ever built.

The Blériot XI is a French aircraft. The first example was used by Louis Blériot to make the first flight across the English Channel in a heavier-than-air aircraft on 25 July 1909.
After Big Temple and Tanjore Paintings, Tanjore is famous for its traditional toy called "Tanjavur Thalaiyatti Bommai" in Tamil language, which means "Tanjore Head-Shaking Doll". The heads of these dolls shake when disturbed and are detachable. The lower part of the body is bigger and heavier than the heads. As they nod their head with breeze, it is a delight to watch them move. "Thanjavur Gundusatti Bommai" i.e. Tanjore Roundpot Rocking Doll is another type of Thanjavur Doll. These are basically a pair of a king and a queen symbolic of the many dynasties that homed Thanjavur.

This exciting coloring book — the first of its kind — chronicles the amazing story of man-made flying machines. A. G. Smith’s carefully rendered illustrations trace the history of aircraft, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci’s design for the wing-flapping ornithopter, continuing with eighteenth-century hot-air balloons and nineteenth-century dirigibles, and concluding with such twentieth-century heavier-than-air craft as helicopters, jet fighters, and the space shuttle. Forty-seven precise line drawings include: the history-making Wright Brothers’ Flyer (1903); the spunky World War II British Spitfire; the Messerschmitt ME 262 A, the first German jet (1945); the Bell X-1, the first manned aircraft to exceed the speed of sound (1947); and the Concorde Supersonic Transport, developed jointly by the French and the English (1969). An informative caption describes each craft — its innovative design, functions, and military or historic role. Educational as well as entertaining, this well-researched pictorial display is sure to please colorists of all ages as certainly as it will thrill anyone fascinated with man’s conquest of the air. Age: 11-14 Pages: 48

PLEASE READ care and use information below before purchasing. This is a premium grade double-napped cotton flannel. It is air jet loomed for a nice tight weave and is yarn-dyed for rich, consistent color. It is a bit heavier than many other flannels, weighing approximately 6.75 oz. per running yard (5.6 oz. per square yard). The GSM is 185. And..., it is oh so soft. Be sure to check our reviews. We often have more fabric than what is shown in the listing. If more than 15 are listed, then 15 is the longest continuous cut available. The remainder would be a second piece. We can also create custom listings for lengths other than even yards. If any color shows less than 3 available by-the-yard, then any available 1/2 yard pieces WILL BE PRECUTS (end-of-bolt, etc.) BOLT WIDTH: 44" FIBER: 100% Cotton - GSM = 185 / running yard = 6.9 oz / sq yard = 5.5 oz CARE: Wash cool to warm on a gentle cycle. Dry delicate to gentle. Any flannel (or, cotton fabric for that matter) will shrink when washed and dried even when the greatest caution is used. Generally, the hotter the wash/dry temperature, the more pronounced the shrinkage will be. USE: All cotton flannel has a predisposition for fraying along the edges when being washed. The internet abounds in suggestions for minimizing this possibility, but here is a method we have used with great success: Before washing, stitch the raw edge in a zig-zag pattern. If the edges fray, we trim off 1/8 to 1/4". SAMPLE SWATCH PACK: One swatch each of all 33 colors. Each swatch measures approximately 2.5"x 4".
Colour by Capacity Use this teaching resource when teaching capacity and the terminology. Students will need to use their judgment to determine which containers in each row will hold the most and least capacity. Use also as a pre or post assessment, as homework or in maths rotations. Cut and Pasts Capacity Worksheet Students cut out a variety of objects and organise them into pairs to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of capacity. Students will use their judgment to determine which objects hold more and which hold less than others. Use this resource when teaching capacity or as a pre/post assessment. You could also use it for homework consolidation or in math rotations. Measuring with my body worksheet This template is ideal for classroom investigations, or as a homework task, when investigating the concept of measuring length. In a real world context, students use their body to compare and measure the length of objects around them, while using measurement terms and vocabulary such as; longer, shorter, taller and same length. Measure the Room Worksheet Use this template as a fun hands-on way for students to practise reading and recording measurements, using a ruler or tape measure. Student instructions: List objects in the first column. Estimate the length of each object in the second column. Measure the length of each object with a ruler or tape measure to find the actual measurement. Students draw on their knowledge of informal comparisons and make judgments to estimate the length of objects before using a measuring tool to find the actual measurement. Use as part of maths rotations, as partner work or as a homework task. Heavy or Light cut and paste activity A simple cut and paste sorting activity to get students classifying objects into heavy and light categories. Students cut out the pictures at the bottom of the page and glue them into either the heavy of light column. Heaver and Lighter Worksheet A worksheet for students to make comparisons and judgements about objects and their mass. Use this worksheet when exploring mathematical vocabulary, heavier and lighter. Students compare and make judgments about the mass of objects, using their knowledge and understanding of objects in real world context to classify objects as heavier or lighter than others.
