Science, Engineering & Technology. Science, Engineering & Technology. FoilSim II 1.5a beta. This is the beta 1.5a version of the FoilSim II program.

FoilSim II 1.5a beta

You are encouraged to use the new FoilSim III simulation program that has all of the features of FoilSim II plus a calculation of the drag of the wing design. FoilSim II is no longer being supported by the NASA Glenn Educational Programs Office. Due to IT security concerns, many users are currently experiencing problems running NASA Glenn educational applets. There are security settings that you can adjust that may correct this problem. <p><span>This page contains an interactive Java applet to explore the various factors which affect the lift of an airfoil. FoilSim II With this software you can investigate how an aircraft wing produces lift by changing the values of different factors that affect lift. FoilSim II is an early version of the FoilSim family of interactive simulations.

With the downloaded version, you can run the program off-line and do not have to be connected to the Internet. Elementary Version - FoilSimE Navigation.. Paper Airplane Flight Basics - STEM Curriculum Resources by Dr. Wesley Fryer. Why Do Some Airports Have Unusually Long Runways? » Science ABC. Wind and Wings. Subjects Science Grades K-2 3-5 6-8 [facebookbadge] Brief Description Students participate in simple hands-on activities that demonstrate Daniel Bernoulli's principle of air pressure and air flight.

Wind and Wings

Objectives Students learn about Daniel Bernoulli learn general information about Bernoulli's principle participate in simple experiments that show Bernoulli's principle. Keywords airplane, winds, wings, Bernoulli's principle, flight, glider, air pressure, aerodynamics Materials Needed model airplane, chalk, chalkboard See the sites noted in the lesson for the specific materials needed in each activity.

Lesson Plan Show students a model airplane. Assessment Evaluate students' participation in the experiments. Lesson Plan Source Education World Submitted By Lois Lewis National Standards Science: NS.K-4.1 NS.K-4.2. Design a Paper Airplane. Brief Description Students study examples of paper airplanes and then create their own paper airplane models.

Design a Paper Airplane

Objectives Students define the word aeronautics learn a few basic principals of aeronautics study examples of model airplanes create model or paper airplane designs work together in cooperative groups. How Things Fly. STEM Paper Airplane Challenge. STEM Challenges are terrific ways to help teach your kids about science, technology, engineering and math, all while building their brains and making connections through problem solving.

STEM Paper Airplane Challenge

This week we studied paper airplanes. Every week we do a different challenge with our elementary-aged kiddos. I give them a problem or a contest, and they have to figure out how to solve it. You would not believe how engaged the kids are in learning when they have a problem to solve! Are your kids learning how to read or write? STEM Challenge: Make a paper airplane that can carry a cargo and glide more than ten feet (not be hurled, but actually glide). How Much Cargo Can a Paper Airplane Carry? Supplies you need to set up your kids challenge: Construction PaperTape, Lots of tape! First, draw a line on the floor about ten feet in front of your doorway. How to Fold a Paper Airplane If your kids don’t know how to make a paper airplane have them watch some videos on You Tube. Design a Flying Machine - Activity - www.teachengineering.org.
