You'll return to this resource again .. .and again ... and again. Class members determine the maximum profit of a boomerang-making business by solving a system of equations. They then review and analyze provided sample responses to...

Students build their own boomerang. In this physics lesson, students trace the origin of this equipment. They practice throwing and catching them.

Students create and decorate a boomerang. In this boomerang lesson, students research the history of the boomerang and the three different types. They create their own boomerang and decorate it with a collage of pictures. 

Students investigate the flight of paper boomerangs. In this flight lesson, students examine the flight variables of paper boomerangs, which they make, by investigating the concepts of lift and drag. They examine what happens when an...

Students build a four-wing paper boomerang. In this aeronautics lesson, students construct a paper boomerang and identify the forces at work during flight.

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

Students construct boomerangs. In this aeronautics lesson, students use a file card, scissors, and pencil to develop their own boomerang.

Students cut out the pattern of the Four-Wing Boomerang and trace it on to one half of the file folder. They practice throwing it.

Students make and fly small boomerangs made from file card paper.

Students discover information about the Aboriginal people of Australia. In this global studies lesson, students listen to mini-lectures regarding the history of Australia and the Aboriginal people. Students compare American Indians to...

Pupils examine how aerodynamic forces affect the flight of aircraft, animals and sports balls and projectiles (like a javelin or boomerang). They discover the origins of the boomerang and early usage in hunting.

Students make a flying wheel and measure its flight.

Students use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

First graders are introduced to how to use a ruler and its purpose. Using a boomerang, they estimate its length and then measure it using a string and ruler. In groups, they practice the same exercise with various objects while...

Pupils apply measurement techniques to create a flying object. They measure, draw, and cut out a flying wheel out of a six inch card.

Students explore the four forces of flight. They investigate the four forces of flight: lift, drag, thrust and weight (gravity). They experiment with flight-testing various objects commonly found around the house and constructing paper...

Students explore American Indian cultures and changes caused by European exploration in North America.

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.

Middle schoolers examine the history of the Aborigines. In this Australia lesson, students research selected websites and print materials regarding the lives of the Aborigines and create posters that showcase their findings.

Students practice the skills of using a hula hoop in order to expand other skills like following directions. They are given and experience a variety of locomotor and manipulative movements. They work as an individual and a team member.

Students explore citizenship and identify their interests, families, and friends. They work in groups to discuss each others' interests, friendship, and ways to reach out to others. After discussing their neighborhoods and communities,...

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...

Students discover the need for a universal measurement system. They practice using basic metric units in measuring distance and weight.

Students complete a unit on melodies from various cultures. They watch an online program, analyze various melodies, write a short original melody, complete a worksheet, and compare/contrast three versions of "Amazing Grace."
