Students will make paper rockets, parachutes, and foam gliders to experience how objects move through the air. Explore topics such as thrust, weight, gravity, force, and lift through fun activities and stories and cutting-edge work done...

Students explore the motion of an object falling under the influence of air resistance. Force arrows and values are shown as the object falls, and a speedometer displays the speed of the object. The mass of the falling object and the...

Students begin to explore the idea of a force. To further their understanding of drag, gravity and weight, they conduct activities that model the behavior of parachutes and helicopters. An associated literacy activity engages the class...
