For this root word worksheet, learners use given definition to choose the best foreign root word that explains highlighted words in sentences.

Young scholars investigate the area under a curve and the rate of change.

Students create paper airplanes. They compare and contrast the airplanes created in class and test them out. They adjust their airplanes until they all fly. They discuss the forces that allow flight to occur.

Students learn about the technological development of flight by organizing a presentation on the history of flight.

Pupils, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students use FoilSim interactive software to become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an airfoil affects its ability to create lift.

High schoolers use the FoilSim computer simulation program, and demonstrate an understanding of the lift variables by explaining their graphical representations. They demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion.

Ninth graders, after reading the explanation given below, complete the problem-solving activities to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts presented.

Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity that manipulates the lift coefficient equation.

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity to graph and interpret the lift equation.

Students, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.

Students participate in propeller experiments. They research the purpose of the propeller and its functions. Students create and experiment with blades and straws to produce a breeze.

In this analogies worksheet, students read the pairs of words and select the answer that best expresses a relationship similar to the original pair. Students complete 12 examples.

Airplane wings do not all have the same design. With this Science Buddies project you can design your own wings to see which offers the greatest lift. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

The effects of forces exerted on an airplane wing are discussed both conceptually and mathematically. Illustrations and sample problems and solutions are provided.

Learn about the Bernoulli effect by building an airplane wing, or airfoil, and making it fly.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the science behind flying an airplane and play this simulation game to see the effects of wing profile, thrust, angle of attack, and airplane size.

Great interactive provides students with an opportunity to use engineering skills to design and test airplane wings based on the methods of the Wright brothers. Step into the workshop and design a set of wings that will fly your glider...

This lesson plan provides a brief demonstration of how airplane wings lift a heavy airplane into the air. This activity would be an excellent example of how science and technology have positively impacted our lives. Prediction and...

In this lesson plan students can make a flying wing and trouble-shoot until the wing glides smoothly.

How does an airplane stay aloft when upside down? This media-rich essay from the NOVA Web site offers an explanation based on Newton's third law of motion.

An explanation of the role lift plays in airplane take-off and flight.

The airplanes unit begins with a lesson on how airplanes create lift, which involves a discussion of air pressure and how wings use Bernoulli's Principle to change air pressure. Following the lessons on lift, students explore the other...
