Students examine the different kinds of propellers and their functions.  In this airplane instructional activity students build a hand made propeller.

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.

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

Pupils 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 straw if...

Eighth graders engage in a variety of activities in order to investigate the basic concepts of physics. They read and answer questions in a written text. This is only one type of activity that is part of many others.

Students complete experiments with soda cans to examine the effect of pressure and air movement. They create low pressure and discuss its effects. They also examine thunderstorm safety rules.

Pupils examine how wind can suspend rain and hail in clouds. They focus on safety precautions they can take to protect them from the hazards of thunderstorms.

Students examine forces that effect flight.  In this flight lesson students answer questions that are asked of them and the ones that they ask themselves. 

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.

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 build a kite while integrating math and science. In this kite building lesson, students construct a blueprint and apply mathematical formulas while constructing a kite. They use appropriate flight and kite terminology to...

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...

Students experiment on Boyle's law using balloons and other common materials. For this chemistry lesson, students explain the relationship between pressure and volume. They solve problems relating to Boyle's Law.

In this science activity, 6th graders take a multiple choice quiz about matter, properties, electricity, and more. Students complete 30 questions total.

Students participate in lab activities in which they examine the radon level in homes. They demonstrate through convection currents how radon moves through a home based on temperature. They predict what they believe will occur during the...

In-depth explanation of Bernoulli's Principle and its applications. Diagrams and equations are included.

You can actually make objects come together by blowing air between them. This is a simple way of implementing Bernoulli's principle. Find out how wind changes air pressure to bring to objects together in this easy and fun science fair...

Provides a detailed explanation of how the Venturi Effect works in fluid mechanics and how it can be proven using Bernoulli's equation. Also discusses applications of the Venturi Effect in the real world.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will develop an understanding of Bernoulli's Principle.

Bernoulli's principle relates the pressure of a fluid to its elevation and its speed. Bernoulli's equation can be used to approximate these parameters in water, air or any fluid that has very low viscosity. Students learn about the...

A demonstration that will grab students' attention to learn about Bernoulli's principle and Newton's Laws of Motion.
