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

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

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 build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

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.

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

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

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

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

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
