JoinEver Fly a Tetrahedron?
Few things capture the spirit of spring like flying a kite. Watching a kite dance and sail across a cloud-spotted sky is not only a visually appealing experience, it also provides a foundation for studies in science and mathematics. In this kite-building and flying activity, students use inexpensive and readily-available materials to construct a simple tetrahedron kite, then design an experiment to test how changing one variable in the kite's design affects its performance.
