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

In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

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.

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

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

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

In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

Conduct a simple experiment to explore how temperature changes can make things expand or contract.

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

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

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