In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

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

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.
