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

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

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.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

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