how does a wing work?

Question

So full disclosure I personally understand Bernoulli’s principle and understand how a wing works due to it.

Here’ is what I need. My 5 year old son loves planes, and loves watching birds fly. As such he is asking questions of how a bird’s wing works vs how an airplane’s wing works. I can’t seem to simplify down Bernoulli’s to the extent that he can understand how a wing works. So I’m coming to you all for advice.

Answer 1

Air moving around the wing. In the same distance from front of wing to back of wing, there’s more surface to cover on top than underneath. So, more air pressure per area pushing up than down. Wing go up, plane go up.
