Building Tetrahedral Kites
Source Institutions
Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Sled Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

Kites
Source Institutions
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.

Hoopster: An Airplane Made from Paper Hoops
Source Institutions
This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

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.

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