Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.
Geometry and Algebra: The Future Flight Equation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.
Make Your Own Magnus Glider
Source Institutions
Build a glider that uses the same physics as a curve ball, for less than a dime.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
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
Origami Flying Disk
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.
Paper Airplanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.
