Frisbee Physics, a Newton's Apple teacher's guide page. It's actually not that complicated, and the description is short (to accompany a N.A. episode). But lift is cool. I also like the short bibliography.

Try This... Learn more about the three axes of motion. Stand with your arms extended straight out from your sides like the wings of a plane. Bend over at the waist and then bend backwards to imitate pitch. Lean your body from side to side to simulate a roll. Now rotate or twist your body at the waist to do a yaw. What other moves can you imitate? Which ones are the hardest to do?
