Build a simple wind tunnel to help formulate and answer questions about how wind influences animals and plants, and then use it to explore why geese fly in formation and to examine why certain plants do not break in strong winds.

Wind is created in areas where there are temperature shifts. For this lesson, Grade Two students will investigate areas of their schoolyard where there are 'wind tunnels' and 'wind shadows'. They will then use this information to...

This illustrated feature provides a history of the Channel Tunnel, the train tunnel connecting France and Britain under the English Channel, officially opened in 1994.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate Bernoulli's Principle as it relates to winged flight. The students will use computers to see the influence of camber and airfoil angle of attack on the lift.

Imagine two aliens racing across outer space to their moon. Who can we deem the fastest alien? With DIRT- or the equation Distance = Rate x Time- we can calculate their rates, using the distance they traveled and the time they took....
