» Bird’s-eye View

For much of history, people could only imagine what a bird's-eye view was like. In recent times, technology has allowed us to see Earth from above.

Images from a birds-eye view look different to the way we usually see things. Imagine you are a bird flying over your house. What would you see? Draw a bird's-eye view of your house. Show it to someone in your family. Do they recognise the view?
