Working in small teams, learners try to build a satellite that can float for at least five seconds in the marked area of a vertical wind tube.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

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

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.
