In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

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

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

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 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.
