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

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

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

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.
