Sumario:	This article discusses the integration of aviation in the elementary school science program in the U.S. during the 1940s. Observations of natural flight will help the child to give man his place in the scheme of flying things. Children need to begin thinking of the air as a real and integral part of the earth. Teaching about the structure of the atmosphere will prepare children to deal more intelligently with problems in stratosphere flying. There are a number of simple experiences with Bernoulli's Principle which elementary students may have that will not only prove satisfying to them on their level in answering questions about airplanes, but which will lay a foundation for a rigorous study later on.
