Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...

Students examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift.  In this flight lesson students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.

Students experiment with weight and balance of a glider.  In this flight instructional activity students construct their own flying glider and record their experiment with it. 

Students learn the four concepts of flight; drag, lift, thrust, and weight. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students participate in a flight activity where they jump as high as they can to stamp a large sheet of paper and measure and...

Students explore the history of flight, specifically the Wright brothers. Pupils create paper airplanes. They discuss considerations in building an aircraft such as drag, thrust, and weight. Classmates compare the Wright Brother's...

Fifth graders design their own hot air balloon. For this science lesson, 5th graders investigate how factors like weight and sizes affect a balloon's lifting power. They also write math problems based on facts written in the...

Students construct a paper glider. In this physics of gliding lesson, students first learn about Borneo and it's rainforest habitat. After students discover the way animals in Borneo glide from tree to tree, they use their newly acquired...

In this energy worksheet, students determine how much work a person an object does, the potential energy of an object, the amount of power being exerted on an object. This worksheet has 16 word problems.

Middle schoolers demonstrate correct body posture for proper singing technique, and accurately perform correct breathing technique in preparation for singing.

Share pupil responses to an interactive slide show about a design initiative intended to help the world's poor. The class works in groups to brainstorm ideas, and then prepares sketches of their own design solutions. Each rendering...

Delve into graphing! The concepts covered begin with basic graphing basic coordinates and algebraic expressions on coordinate planes, and build up to graphing linear inequalities and equations. Learners solve and simplify various...

Students research AIDS and the role of diet and exercise with the disease. For this AIDS lesson, students listen to a mini lecture about the diet and exercise needs of people who have AIDS. Students learn about alternative therapies to...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's super student! Physical science stars can fly during a unit on light as they see the reflection of one leg in a mirror, behind which the other holds them up. 

Students design and construct a gliding aircraft. They use the Internet as a research tool to gain background information about specific flight principles.

Young scholars explore electromagnetism, simple machines and the design process. They use the concepts of electromagnetism to design and build a device that uses an electromagnet, a pulley and a lever using the provided Engineering...

Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Students are introduced to two of the four principles of flight: drag and thrust. As the class watches a video on these principles, they utilize ballons, straws and clothepins to simulate what they're seeing in the show. Nice, hands-on...

In this sentence completion worksheet, students read the sentences and choose the word to complete each sentences. Students complete 12 sentences.

In this online interactive grammar skills worksheet, students examine 10 sentences that are missing words and select the appropriate words to complete each of the sentences and match them to the sentences. Student answers are...

Students examine forces that effect flight.  In this flight lesson students answer questions that are asked of them and the ones that they ask themselves. 

Students determine the torque of CEENBoTs wheel hub. In this physics activity, students reinforce their learning by exploring interactive websites on torque. They give real life applications of torque.

Students visit a local zoo and answer physics questions that are a part of zoo life.  In this zoo physics lesson students answer questions that have to do with the physics of animal size, their center of gravity and how animals travel.

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students discover how inclined planes make work easier as they make mathematical predictions and prove their predictions through experiments.
