In this activity, students simulate the forces of drag and thrust as they run across the field in an umbrella relay. Introduction Drag is the force that opposes thrust on aircrafts. The drag of the ...
In this activity, students compare the flight of a flat sheet of paper to that of a paper airplane. The streamlined paper airplane slips smoothly through the air since its shape produces little drag. A ...

In this make and take, students exploit the force of drag to make a parachute that will drop as slowly as possible to the ground. They are encouraged to modify their model to find the design that is the ...
