Learners prove angles congruent by use of vertical angles definition, subtraction postulate, and transitivity postulate.

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

Students identify the parts of an airplane and determine the part(s) of an airplane that cause a specfic action.

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 study the basic operation of a water rocket.  In this propulsionlesson students complete several experiments on constructing a bottle rocket launcher.

Students examine pieces of art by Alice Adams. They discuss what they see in the paintings. In groups, they design their own piece of playground equipment.

Students calculate the length of a side of a triangle using a trigonometric function. They calculate the measure of an angle given two sides of a triangle with a trigonometric function.

Students explore the concept that air is all around us and identify ways that we can use air, and what air can do. They watch a short video that illustrates some of their findings.

Students practice reading directions from a task card to assemble a paper aircraft during their Moon, Mars and Beyond mission. They relate the activity to their mission work and recognize the importance of reading directions.

This lesson allows students to build their own paper gliders and change characteristics of the glider to make it fly easier.

Design and construct a glider that files! Compare the flights with classmates' prototypes to test the success of your design.

Being able to withstand heat and cold is a need shared by rich and poor alike. The author of this speech to the American Society for Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) provides an anecdotal history of climate...

Assemble a basic scale model of the space shuttle as a hands-on activity. The activity features math-related concepts such as finding the scale of the paper model and the glide ratio of its flight.

With a few readily available supplies, you can make a "spider glider." Visit this site for directions and more about spiders.

Students learn the fundamentals of aerodynamics in this hands-on exercise.

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

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...
