This lesson introduces students to the concept of air pressure. Students will explore how air pressure creates force on an object. They will study the relationship between air pressure and the velocity of moving air.

This is an experiment that will allow observation on how friction will make a ping pong ball curve when it is thrown into the air.

One chapter from a larger site dedicated to explaining the physics of flight. Numerous diagrams show the flow of air around an airfoil.

Explore flight and the science behind lift and wing shape by creating two paper airplanes - a monoplane glider and a ring-wing glider.

Learn about air pressure with this easy science experiment that is not only fun but appears quite magical. A video tutorial is included.
