paper airplanes

ACTIVITY: PAPER AIRPLANES

Goal: To understand that air helps hold up paper airplanes so they can fly

           To explore ways to design paper airplanes that can fly well

Skills: observing,planning, designing, testing, redesigning, discussing, comparing, explaining,  generalizing, evaluating results of experiments

PROCEDURE AND QUESTIONING STRATEGY

Demonstrate for the students one possible way to make a basic paper airplane. As you make the airplane, describe what you aredoing, i.e. folding,creasing,lining up edges,folding up or under, etc. Go over the names of the parts: wing,nose,tail, etc.

Fly the airplane a few times then ask students the following questions.

1.      How would you describe the flight of the airplane?

2.      What made the airplane fly?

The way you held it/ the way you throw/ the way it was made

3.      What helped hold it up?

The air under it

4.      How did the plane land?

5.      What do you think wo could do to make the airplane fly farther

Students make their own airplanes. Find a suitable place. Allow teamwork, allow partners to explain to one another why they are making changes in design.
