Outreach Demonstration Guide: Dragonfly Muscles: Forces and Movement
AUG 08, 2024
Construct a flapping dragonfly with cardstock and elastic to learn about forces, force diagrams, and the direct flight muscles of dragonflies. Dance to compare the muscles that move your arm to the muscles that move a dragonfly’s wing. This demo is part of the 2024 SOCK, The Wonders of the Dragonfly.
