Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

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 construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

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

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

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.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
