Students investigate design and the correct use of technology. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the Bernoulli Principle using hands on bubble making. They link the principle that keeps the bubble aloft to the BP principle.

Getting water to a tap requires an understanding the fundamentals of fluid flow. Groups design, build, and test a piping system to get water from the source — a five gallon bucket — to a tippy tap. The objective is to be able to...

This isn't the boomerang you're used to. Scholars first see how a commercial boomerang works. They then cut out a four-wing boomerang and test its flight to compare it to that of the commercial boomerang.

Students describe four states of matter and their characteristics, explain thermal expansion of matter, interpret state changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter, explain relationship between temperature and volume of a gas, state...

Start your engines! This five-lesson unit introduces physics and Newton's laws through automobile racing. Each lesson includes background information, a student worksheet, and an answer key. There are also culminating...

Students examine the many different ways that seeds fly in birds, in air, and why. In this science lesson plan, students collect seeds, learn Bernoulli's principle including lift, ailerons, elevators, drag and how to make a paper...

Students investigate Bernoulli's principle of air pressure and how it relates to the lift of an airplane. Students identify various Aeronautical vocabulary terms. Students construct a paper glider and experiment with the control surfaces...

Students apply the concepts of air pressure, the Bernoulli Effect, and angle of attack to build their own model planes out of paper, plastic, wooden rods, and drinking straws.

Students discover how air pressure effects flight.  In this physics lesson, students create two types of airplane wings so they can observe the way air pressure creates lift.  Students utilize a printout to create the airplane...

The challenge: determine whether a tank will float. A design activity has groups work as engineering teams in order to determine the stability of given tanks and liquid contents. The teams need to determine the equations to...

Learners use balloons and string to duplicate Bernoulli's Principle of wing shape and its affect on liftoff.

Students  define terms, explain Bernoulli's principle and identify the control surfaces of an airplane.  In this investigative lesson students complete a lab activity.

In this Mathematicians and Scientists Treasure Hunt worksheet, students use the internet to research facts about a famous mathematician or scientists. Students read the fact on the worksheet and write the name of the famous individual...

Students design and construct a gliding aircraft. They use the Internet as a research tool to gain background information about specific flight principles.

Eighth graders identify and explain what Bernoulli's Principle is and draw diagrams to incorporate Pascal. They also perform simple calculations of density, buoyancy, and fluid pressure. Finally, 8th graders describe fluid pressure in...

Students explain basic principles of aeronautics such as gravity and lift. In this How Things Fly lesson, students visit the interactive, hands-on How Things Fly gallery at the Smithsonian. Students perform three experiments that...

Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Young scholars explore the concept of Bernoullii's Principle and how it behaves. Have each student fold the piece of paper in half. Then have them place the paper like a tent on a smooth surface. Have them blow under it (they can use a...

Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during a storm.

Fifth graders examine air flow, pressure, condensation and examine how to read a weather map.  In this informative lesson students learn vocabulary then see how these terms can be applied by viewing a few demonstrations pertaining...

In this physical science worksheet, students write short responses for each scientific law in 14 different questions to obtain a merit badge.

Young scholars investigate what allows air plane to fly, why birds can fly and why people can't. They construct a giant hot air balloon that can be launched using only a hair dryer.

Students explain how a Frisbee flies, why it's shaped he way it is and how fast and how far the Frisbee can go.

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  For this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter...
