Learners explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Learners measure the plane's angles using a...

For this satellite drag and Hubble space telescope worksheet, students solve two problems using a graph showing the altitude of the satellite vs. the year with two lines showing two different types of re-boost and one...

Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...

Students explain the historical significance of use of the scientific method in developing the first airplane and appreciate the process involved in developing a new technology.

Students complete a lab in order to discover if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affect the type of data collected and the resulting graph.

Have your class use compasses to try to find the magnetic field around an electric current. Groups use the same technique to visualize magnetic fields as they did in the second activity in the series, but this time, the field is...
