Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.
