This article describes an excellent hands-on activity to teach students about the principles of flight and Bernoulli's principle. In this activity students build a wind tunnel out of common materials and test different airfoil shapes to determine how the shape effects lift. This is an outstanding activity to teach middle school or high school students about aerodynamics.

A Wind Tunnel in the Classroom

A middle school class builds a wind tunnel using a simple fan and help from a team of students and professor from a local university as well as a pilot from a commercial airlines. With the adaptation of using dry ice to create the trail of the air students were able to test wing designs that they have generated and learn about Bernoulli’s principle. The tunnel cost about $200 and it not for everyone.
