This physics station activity is designed to be high-engagement and low-prep. Since it requires no physical materials, students will rely on their own bodies, observations of the classroom environment, and mental models of wave behavior.Each station should take approximately 5–7 minutes. Students can record their answers on a separate sheet of paper.

In this lab, you'll investigate how the four forces of flight interact to keep a paper airplane in the air. You will build and test two different paper airplane designs, collecting data to understand how each design's unique shape affects its flight performance.
