Using a vertical wind tube and using simple materials, individuals and groups attempt to design a "satellite" that floats for at least 5 seconds.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

Working in small teams, learners try to build a satellite that can float for at least five seconds in the marked area of a vertical wind tube.

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.
