Science for Kids
Science Kids: Engineering Videos: Flight Aerodynamics
Learn about lift, thrust, drag, weight, airfoil, air pressure, Bernoulli's principle to understand flight aerodynamics. [7:14]
National Science Foundation
National Science Foundation: Science of Speed: Drag & Drafting
Engine power is constrained at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, so teams use aerodynamics to gain an advantage. Teams adjust their cars to minimize drag, but then it's up to the drivers to find 'the draft' and to trust the...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Physics: The Forces on an Airplane
How do airplanes fly? It's not magic. Learn about the forces that help (and hinder) airplane flight.
Sophia Learning
Sophia: Air Resistance & Newton's Second Law
This narrated lesson explains how Newton's second law of motion changes when air resistance is considered with falling objects. [6:42]
Next Vista for Learning
Next Vista for Learning: Terminal Velocity: The Physics of I Fly
A video explaining that terminal velocity exists when the force of gravity equals the force of drag on an object. Video shows how terminal velocity exists in a wind tunnel. [4:08]
PBS
Pbs Teachers: Wind Tunnel
Discover how researchers use wind tunnels to test automobiles and airplanes. Watch kids use the scientific method to find out which vehicle shape is the most aerodynamic. [6:06]
