Ballooning

Ballooning, the final title in the series, is a simulation program which encourages children to investigate and explore the science of lighter-than-air flight. There are several levels and initial tuition is gained the the Flying School. This is an essential duty before undertaking your Flying Test and eventually your Live Mission. If you pass your test, you are assigned a score and your subsequent activities are influenced by the rank you have been given.

You are then ready to embark upon a solo flight with specific tasks to perform. These are not at all straightforward - I'm afraid I left the vet stranded on a hillside miles away from the sick sheep! The program and activities suggested within the package introduce children to various scientific principles and seem an ideal way of combining learning with enjoyment.
