Learn about the four principles of flight by constructing, modifying, and observing your own foam glider!

Discover how real-world planes stay aloft through hands-on flight activities for kids using these foam gliders! Your students trace and cut out foam glider parts using plastic templates, then they let creativity soar by attaching paper, rubber bands, and wooden dowels anywhere on their glider to alter its behavior during flight.

Included experiential lessons cover thrust, gravity, lift, and drag, grounding abstract concepts with visual proof. Have students collaborate to hypothesize which variables will help their glider fly the farthest, then carry out experiments and apply critical thinking to results.

Set includes 1 TestFlight template, foam board, construction paper, rubber bands, craft sticks, and lesson directions adaptable for grades K-4 and 5-8. The included lesson direction details setup instructions, activities by grade level, learning objectives, and teaching suggestions to expand lessons. Additional foam board sold separately.
