This DIY resource for teachers will guide you through building your own Wind Tunnel to use in class, or with our Wind Tunnel Lesson Plan.
Wind tunnels are a fun way for students to explore physics concepts surrounding flight, air resistance, drag and aerodynamics. By rapidly creating and testing designs for objects that sink, float, or hover in a wind stream, students get immediate feedback on ideas, allowing for rapid refinements, confidence trying new concepts and explorations of problems in an engaging way.
