Sled Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.
Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.
Water Rocket Launch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
Nosedive
Source Institutions
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.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.
Airplane Wing Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.
