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

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.
