Rotocopters
Students construct their own rotocopters to study flight. In this flight lesson students work in groups and complete timed trials of their rotocopters.
Curated OER
Banana Man Glider
Students incorporate technology into the classroom as they investigate force and motion. For this science lesson, students construct a glider to be able to safely take a banana to the ground without dropping it. They investigate flight,...
Curated OER
Kite building activity
Learners explore how a kite flies; this lesson is a precursor for the windmill activity. By exploring how a kite flies, the students explore the power of the wind; particulary how drag, lifft and gravity enable objects such as kites and...
Curated OER
What Makes Thing Fly?
Second graders study lift, drag and thrust from a real flight instructor. In this physical science instructional activity students build and fly paper airplanes and experiment with variations and design.
Yale University
Airplane Mathematics
The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...
Curated OER
Airplane Wings
Students examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift. In this flight lesson students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.
Curated OER
Frisbee
Students examine the history behind the frisbee and how Bernoulli's principle and Newton's law plays a role. In this flight lesson students complete an experiment on how the rim of a frisbee effects flight.
Curated OER
Build Your Own Parachute
Learners study the basics of parachuting. In this flight and aerodynamics lesson students make a simple parachute and investigate different variables that can cause potential problems.
Curated OER
Model Rockets
Students study the basics of a model rocket and its classifications. In this rocket instructional activity students determine the flight duration of a model rocket.
Curated OER
"Buff at 50
Students study airforce aircraft. In this investigative lesson students discuss an article they read and divide into groups and design three different combat or peacekeeping situations.
Curated OER
How Do Airplanes Stay off the Ground?
Students use balloons and string to duplicate Bernoulli's Principle of wing shape and its affect on liftoff.
Curated OER
New Breed of Robots Takes War To the Next Level
Students study an article and answer questions. In this exploring robots activity students read an article on military robots and answer questions.
Curated OER
Wing Area Effects Problem Set
Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.
Curated OER
Supersonic Dream
Students explore how fuel use affects the mass of different planes during flight and graph their results. They determine the per person fuel cost of a transatlantic flight for seven airplanes
Curated OER
Pitch, Yaw & Roll
Students practice the concepts of pitch, yaw and roll. They practice pitch, yaw, roll in a make-believe airplane simulator. Students explore about air, forces, and movement of flight. They read for themselves about air; lift, dragweight,...
Curated OER
Wind Tunnel
Students examine how wind tunnels are used for research and development. In this aerodynamics lesson students are given instructions on how to develop different types of wind tunnel.
Curated OER
Catapults!
Pupils work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...
Curated OER
Come Fly With Me
Students apply the Bernoulli Principle. In this flight lesson, students design and test a glider.
Curated OER
THE WRIGHT IDEA!
Students learn about the technological development of flight by organizing a presentation on the history of flight.
Curated OER
Airplane Parts Problem Set
Students identify the parts of an airplane and determine the part(s) of an airplane that cause a specfic action.
Curated OER
Aerodynamics of a Boomerang
High schoolers examine how aerodynamic forces affect the flight of aircraft, animals and sports balls and projectiles (like a javelin or boomerang). They discover the origins of the boomerang and early usage in hunting.
