Weight Lifting (animated).

The International Weightlifting Federation site offers the basics and background of the sport, plus national and international lifting news, rankings, records, publications, and shopping.

The airplanes unit begins with a lesson on how airplanes create lift, which involves a discussion of air pressure and how wings use Bernoulli's Principle to change air pressure. Following the lessons on lift, students explore the other...

This diagram shows the forces of lift that affect the wing of an aircraft. Lift, thrust, weight and drag all affect the flight of the aircraft as well as the angle of attack.

This website has a chart showing how many calories a 154-pound, 5'10" male will burn while participating in various physical activities including hiking, walking, and swimming.

This video [2:31] illustrates a word problem involving the multiplication of fractions that requires students to find an unknown product based on a comparison of two quantities. One of the world's largest insects, the Goliath beetle, is...

This site provides a simplified explanation of the physics of flight. Site provides information about lift, drag, weight, thrust, Bernoulli's Principle, and much more.

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.

Utilize an understanding of how a lever works to lift an obelisk, using as few of the weights and support stones as possible in this online interactive activity.

The Illinois Institute of Technology lets students investigate the aerodynamics of a helicopter, focusing on the variables which effect the lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Students investigate the effects of aerodynamics on a wide board.

Step into Dirtmeister's Science Lab and help him answer the challenge question: "How can you lift four times your weight?" Learn about levers, make your predictions and then do the experiment.
