Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.
Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
Make and Fly a Helicopter
Source Institutions
Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.
Loony Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon.
Newton's in the Driver's Seat
Source Institutions
