Which Way is Drag? Aerodynamic Forces on Airplanes, Parachutes, and Rockets @Science.Buddies

Uploaded August 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Understand the forces of lift and drag (also called air resistance) and which way they point on different objects as they move through the air. Check out Science Buddies for aerodynamics science projects you can do with paper airplanes, parachutes, and model rockets: sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science-projects/aerodynamics-hydrodynamics?ytid=k_1-fmQCjWo&ytsrc=description

Science Buddies also hosts a library of instructions for over 1,500 other hands-on science projects, lesson plans, and fun activities for K-12 parents, students, and teachers! Visit us at sciencebuddies.org/?ytid=k_1-fmQCjWo&ytsrc=description to learn more.
