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 activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

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 related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

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

In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.
