Building Tetrahedral Kites
Source Institutions
Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.
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.
Soaring Satellites
Source Institutions
Using a vertical wind tube and using simple materials, individuals and groups attempt to design a "satellite" that floats for at least 5 seconds.
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.
Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
