Sail Design
In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will design and build a sail to put on a raft. They will test the strength of their sail by placing a fan in front of it and seeing if the fan makes the raft move. This lesson offers an excellent opportunity for students work through the engineering design process.

This lesson has a focus on Bernoulli's Principle, the venturi, and how it applies toward creating lift on an aircraft.
Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a
In this creative lesson, students focus on inertia while exploring the magnetic compass and its errors while flying an aircraft.
