In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.
