Students explore interaction between mathematics, science, and technology as they look at process of researching, developing, testing, and evaluating airplane design. They calculate glide ratio for model paper airplane by using data...

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The instructional activity begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the...

In this triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 8 different problems that include various transformations. First, they write a rule for the composition of a dilation of a scale factor. Then, students determine whether a graphed...

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.

How far can you fly a paper airplane? Math challenge provides practice in comparing quantities.

Assemble a basic scale model of the space shuttle as a hands-on activity. The activity features math-related concepts such as finding the scale of the paper model and the glide ratio of its flight.

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.
