In this four forces of flight worksheet, students read a 1 page article on flights, answer 5 questions with multiple choice answers, draw a line to connect the four forces to their definitions and answer 1 short answer scenario.

Does size or mass impact gravitational pull? Scholars experiment with force pairs to answer that question. They can change the size, mass, and distance between the objects using an engaging simulatoin. This allows pupils to visualize the...

In this flight worksheet, students will review the physics behind flight including lift, acceleration, and thrust. Students will also understand the Bernoulli effect. This worksheet has 6 true or false, 6 short answer, and 8 matching...

How does an airplane control its take off and descent? Scholars explore the forces acting on an airplane and control the angle of attack, wing profile, thrust, and airplane size. They learn about lift, drag, thrust, gravity, and the...

Ready, aim, fire! Launch to a new level of understanding as scholars build and test their own catapults. Learners explore lever design and how adjusting the fulcrum changes the outcome. 

For this forces worksheet, students use the equations for acceleration and Newton's second law to learn about different motions and forces. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this paper helicopter worksheet, students design and experiment making a paper helicopter to explore how some things fall and how varying the size of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins.

For this harmonic motion worksheet, learners read about the difference between harmonic motion and linear motion. They are given the parts of harmonic motion, graphs of harmonic motion and equations to find the period and frequency of...

In this harmonic motion learning exercise, high schoolers read about repetitive motion, the parts of harmonic motion, and graphing harmonic motion. Students then complete 5 matching and 20 fill in the blank questions.

In this online interactive history worksheet, students respond to 10 short answer and essay questions about Sigmund Freud and his work. Students may check some of their answers on the interactive worksheet. 

In this physics instructional activity, students complete short answer questions about physics concepts such as electricity, space, light, and more. Students complete 20 short answer questions.

In this solar system worksheet, learners read about the planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and the moon. Then students complete 25 multiple choice, 4 true or false, and 3 short answer questions.

In this interactive activity from NOVA, discover how centripetal force can affect you when riding in a car or flying at high speeds in a fighter jet.

An upward force called lift acts on the airplane and opposes the downward forces of gravity. The lift force allows the airplane to get off the ground and stay in the air. Watch the simulation to see how this works.

Discusses air flow around the wing of a plane and its effect upon the lift and drag forces. Focuses on the application of Bernoulli's principle to wing design and the subsequent airfoil shapes.

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.

This personal site explains the physics of angular momentum and their application to flight. Part of a much larger site on the procedures, principles, and perceptions of flight.

The effects of forces exerted on an airplane wing are discussed both conceptually and mathematically. Illustrations and sample problems and solutions are provided.
