This is a NASA Sci Files segment describing how NASA scientists study the natural design of living organisms in order to solve problems in engineering aircraft. Produced specifically for students and is suitable for elementary and older students.
...(This is an Emmy award-winning series of instructional programs that introduces students in grades 3-5 to NASA and integrates mathematics, science, and technology through the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), scientific inquiry, and the scientific method. The series seeks to motivate students to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers.)

Into the Wind is a four-part film meant to excite young people about how they can interact with the wind while teaching the basic physics. Each section contains an activity young people can do themselves (fly a kite, sail a model sailboat, make a pin...wheel). Animations explain the physics behind these real-world kid’s activities. These lessons lead to examples of more involved wind technologies such as hang gliding, sailing, windmills, and wind turbines. The film moves quickly, switching between 3D animations and live action with an original musical score.

Did you ever wonder how a parachute works? Let's make sense of it with science. A variety of pictures are shown as well as written/audio content. This is an excellent resource for a lesson/unit of flight and/or transportation and would work well in c...onjunction with reading non-fiction/fiction texts on these subjects. (1:50)

For an airplane to get airborne or climb in flight, the overall downward force of air on its wing surfaces must be less than the upward force. In this interactive activity from the NOVAWeb site, learn how wing shape, angle of attack, and speed of the... wing through the air each influence how air moves in relation to a wing. Then see how these factors in turn influence a plane's speed, maneuverability, and fuel economy.
