Have your students excited to learn about history and science with this paper airplane challenge! Students will learn about the brothers as well as what it took to invent the first working airplane. They will then get to show their ability to problem-solve by creating their own paper airplane and testing it out, then making improvements to try and get it to fly farther each trial. Students will record data, results, and a reflection. Increase student engagement with this STEM challenge!
