The principles of basic aeronautics explained, combined with a fun and engaging lab activity in which students apply their understanding of aerodynamics by making and testing different paper airplane designs.
A fun lab activity in which students apply their knowledge of aeronautics to hypothesize which paper airplane design will fly the farthest. Includes 6 different paper airplane templates. This is the companion activity for my "Basic Aeronautics" PowerPoint. A great opportunity for students to work together to create their paper airplanes and actually break the classroom rule against throwing paper!
