Fun with Bernoulli

Young scholars explore aerodynamics and Bernoulli's principle by devising ways to keep bubbles aloft.

Discover the science of NASCAR! Young scholars rev up their learning as they explore aerodynamic principles. Hands-on activities help learners understand concepts of friction, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

Focus on inquiry-based learning in your science class with a series of activities designed for middle schoolers. A helpful packet samples four different texts, which include activities about predator-prey relationships, Earth's axis and...

Students examine the differences between weight and mass. Using meter sticks, they measure the deflection of aluminum rods after bending one end. They also experiment with books connected by rubber bands and paperclips to demonstrate...

Students study the concept of air pressure and how air pressure creates force on an object. They examine Bernoulli's principle as it enables engineers to use the nature of air pressure as they design airplanes, cars, trains, rockets, and...

Students experiment with the principles in aerodynamics as they are challenged to keep a bubble aloft as long as possible. They apply their observations to the aerodynamics used in airplane technology.

Students explain the principles of flight. In this physics lesson, students perform a series of exploration activity on Bernoulli's principle. They relate this principle to airplane flight.

Students examine buoyancy and fluid pressure. They conduct a series of fun experiments to discover the effects of pressure and explore how pressure differences can be used to float, lift, transport, or hold a material in place.
