Flight: Air Powered Glider Challenge
Students design and build air powered gliders in this engaging lesson. This is a fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag. Requires the same launcher used in the "Air Rocket Design Challenge" lesson. The link to that lesson is included along with a variety of resources!
