Through this activity, Bernoulli's principle as it relates to winged flight is demonstrated. Student pairs use computers and an online virtual wind tunnel to see the influence of camber and airfoil angle of attack on lift. Activity and math worksheets are provided.

    Windy Tunnel
    I had a wonderful version of this lesson with several University of Colorado/Boulder students who led it. The students actually brought in a wind tunnel (fashioned from a fan and a large piece of pliable plastic-- super creative!)
    The students were tasked with creating an aircraft capable of taking advantage of updrafts in order to take measurement equipment (clay) up to higher elevations and stay at a constant elevation for as long as possible. It was amazing! This is a slightly different version of what is here on the site, but it includes such terrific background on Bernoulli's Read More
