On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on a journey to discover airplanes and rockets.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

To fly, an airplane or a rocket uses three magical forces: thrust, lift, and aerodynamics. Thrust is the force that lets you take off and stay in the air. Engines provide this force by burning fuel.

Lift is the force that makes an airplane go up. The wings of the airplane are made to create this force using air. When the airplane moves, the air goes faster over the wings than under them, which lifts the airplane like a bird.

Aerodynamics is the shape of an airplane or a rocket that helps to reduce air resistance. A smooth and round shape helps to fly faster and easier, like a fish that glides through water.

Before flying, engineers test airplanes and rockets in wind tunnels. These big machines blow air very strongly to see how the flying machines react. This helps to make sure they are safe and work well.

The Sky Race

How can an airplane or a rocket fly in the air?

Start of the airplane test

After learning how wind and sun can make electricity, Noa and Zoé leave the Energy Lab. Zoé holds her mini windmill‎ (1), and Noa carries his solar lamp. They head to the Test Tunnel‎ (2), ready for new challenges. In the distance, the academy's loyal dog, a beagle named Max, happily trots along with them. The Test Tunnel is a special place. Here, they can test their inventions. Noa wants to make a mini airplane. Zoé wants to build a mini rocket.

Noa, with a determined smile, says:
« I'm going to make a foam mini-plane. »

Zoé, with a clever smile, announces:
« I am going to build a mini rocket powered by air. »

Soon after, Noa starts to build his mini airplane. He places the wings correctly. Zoé draws the plans for her mini rocket. She uses a pump to fill it with compressed air. Once their creations are ready, they start working in the Test Tunnel.

Noa, after adjusting the wings of his mini-plane, says:
« The wings are in place. The plane will fly. »

Zoé, after checking all the details, announces:
« The rocket is ready. It's going to take off. »

During the test, a breeze reveals a secret hatch‎ (3) with an old flying model inside… A sky treasure!

Discovery of an ancient treasure

Noa and Zoé look at the model with wide eyes. They are amazed by this unexpected discovery. They wonder how this flying model could have landed here.

Noa, with his eyes wide open, asks:
« What is this model? »

Zoé, after looking carefully at the model, says:
« I don't know. It is very old. »

Noa, with a focused look, says:
« I'm going to take a closer look. »

Zoé, coming closer carefully, says:
« Be careful. It is fragile. »

Noa picks up the model carefully. He looks at the details. Zoé checks the mechanisms. They find gears‎ (4) and moving wings. The model is a masterpiece‎ (5).

The excitement of their discovery in the Test Tunnel did not fade. Noa and Zoé, along with their loyal robot dog named R2, rushed to the main‎ (6) fabrication lab. They couldn't wait to show their discovery to Teacher Astucio and to understand how the old flying model worked. They also wanted to test the materials to build a replica‎ (7) of the model, a crucial challenge to understand why choosing the right material is essential.
