Students complete readings on kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system interconnect and influence each other. Students identifies and uses color and form in a 3D artwork.

Students learn the technology of kite making and how to make a kite and fly a kite.

Students build their own kite following certain procedures. In this physics lesson, students explain the aerodynamics concepts involved in flying kites. They trace the development of aviation.

Students make kites from patterns. They write haiku poetry. They listen to stories about kite festivals in different countries.

Students gain perspective on the importance of kites by reading about and discussing how kites have been used throughout history. In this kite exploration lesson, students follow instructions to construct a kite to assist them in...

Young scholars investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Young scholars create their own...

Young scholars make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Students work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.

Students listen to the story "A Carp for Kimiko" and discuss its lesson and theme. They design and create their own carp kite in celebration of Children's Day. They discuss gender discrimination and how that makes them feel.

Students observe and discuss kites and how they function. They apply recycled materials to kite making. They utilize and develop self-expression. They appreciate art made by others and themselves. They fly their kites.

Students discuss what wind can do such as cause a ball to roll, a book to open, water to move. They observe in the book, "Up, Up and Away!: the Sciene of Flight" things that fly and begin brainstoring things on paper that can fly. They...

Learners read various readings on two kit making sessions. They locate places and human spatial patterns using a map. Students design in two dimensions using line to create details.

Students complete activities to learn about wind. In this wind lesson, students study wind in an open field and use a kite to complete their observations. Students make a series of drawings to show how they flew their kites and explain...

High schoolers engage in the study of kites and focus upon the evaluation and designs invovled. They conduct research into the different types of designs and use the information in order to create unique project designs. The drawings are...

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics lesson, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Young scholars make a wind vane, anemometer, wind spiral, and wind streamer to calculate wind movement. In this wind lesson plan, students test each of their wind instruments, and graph the results of the wind speed in different locations.

Students complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson, students discuss wind speed and direction. Students then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a wind meter for...

Third graders make parachutes to learn about gravity and the science process. For this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create parachutes and observe their flight in air. Students discuss wind and gravity for the activity.

Young scholars study the history of the paper plane.  In this design lesson students create several types of paper planes and determine if there is a difference in mean flight distances.

Students create an airship that doesn't use fossil fuel. In this flying lesson, students research different types of flying machines that only use wind power. They discuss invention designs by Alexander Graham Bell and Leonardo Da Vinci...
