Cylindrical Wing
Source Institutions
In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.
Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.
Bernoulli Brain Teasers
Source Institutions
In this activity related to flight, learners conduct two simple tests to explore how lift works.
Bernoulli's Blowout
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b
Vibrating Pennies
Source Institutions
Conduct a simple experiment to explore how temperature changes can make things expand or contract.
Look Mom, No Wings!
Source Institutions
In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.
Hoopster: An Airplane Made from Paper Hoops
Source Institutions
This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!
Squeeze the Stream
Source Institutions
In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.
Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
Airfoils
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.
Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
Lift Experiment
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.
