In this activity, students will construct their own paper airplane. From there, they will complete two flying trials to then calculate the percent of change. This activity is a fun and engaging way to teach the students about percent of change.
The main focus of this task is calculating unit rates, but I turned it into a lab to give students the opportunity to think like scientists. You can shorten it and give more distinct parameters to fit your classroom. I left some of it open for students to explore and explain for themselves. Enjoy!
