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

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

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

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.
