Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Learn how to make and fly a paper helicopter! This simple activity includes a template (for the copter "blades") and instructions for folding, flying, and testing designs.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

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 playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
