Summary
Discover the physics behind how animals like frogs, kangaroos, and lions launch themselves into the air! Emma, Dr. Owl, and Ziggy the Robot learn about how muscles store energy like a squished spring, and why long tails help animals balance mid-flight. Plus, find out why human legs just aren't built for jumping over the Eiffel Tower. Learning Connection: NGSS DCI: LS1.A – Structure and Function.
