This activity goes beyond simple sequencing of images, which pupils first attempted at the start of the topic, to explaining the nature of the changes that have taken places in aviation since the Wright brothers.

- Pupils can explain at least 2 consequences.
- They can attach significance to several different ideas.
- Pupils are able to sequence images of 100 years of flight with the more able showing a heightened sense of chronology.
