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

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

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

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

This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.
