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

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

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

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

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 measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
