While working at the activity aspects of our experiential curriculum, I came up with an idea for theSchoolBlog. Our focus for block Classes (an afterschool product by buildingBlocks) is absolutely on stress free, experiential based learning. So, we are innovating on how we can excite children to understand/engage with day to day scientific phenomenon.
I thought -- may be we can use this incredible power of internet to come up with innovative ways to think about how can we introduce these concepts in the blockClasses?
The first in the series of the several concepts is why can't humans fly? In case if you have an answer which can be understood by 6 year old -- please post it on the comments section. It will be interesting to see how the top-notch schools (DPS, Modern, SPV etc) introduce this concept -- in case if you have an idea.

I would try to point out the visible differences.
1. The visible difference in surface area between wings and human arms
2. The difference in chest size. I read somewhere that even if human's had wings, our pectoral muscles just aren't strong enough to use them. We would have to have 7 foot thick chests to flap our wing's hard enough. If your 7 year old were to observe a bird, he/she would see that the pectoral thickness of a bird would be very close to the height of the bird.
