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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.
