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 experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

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

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.
