REAL OR FAKE
In the 1800s, people would leave their doors unlocked on Halloween night to invite ghosts in.
turnips were originally used to carve Jack-o'-lanterns before pumpkins became popular.
Samhain was the original name of Halloween.
In ancient Rome, Halloween was celebrated by dressing up as historical figures and throwing candy at each other.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is the most popular Halloween candy in the United States.
Halloween originated in ireland.

How do airplanes take off from aircraft carriers if they are so much shorter than regular runways?
Essential Questions
How can we use the engineering design process to create a successful paper airplane launcher that effectively converts potential energy to kinetic energy? What does our paper airplane launcher teach us about the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in real-world applications?
MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

A regular airport runway is much longer than an aircraft carrier. The biggest aircraft carrier is just over 1,000 feet long, but airport runways can typically be more than 6,000 feet long (over a mile!).
Background Information
This poses a problem for aircraft carriers. The largest aircraft carrier is just over 1,000 feet long, or just under a quarter of a mile. That's really big for a ship—but not that long for a runway! In order to take off from such a short runway, planes need some help to get enough speed. They are assisted by a catapult, which provides extra energy from an outside source (like compressed air or electromagnets) to help the plane go faster.
Aircraft that take off from airport runways accelerate under their own power. The planes must get going fast enough to generate enough lift to get off the ground. So especially for large, heavy planes, airport runways are typically very long (over a mile) to make sure the planes have enough room to get up to speed.
Science Connection
Physics
A stretched rubber band stores elastic potential energy.
When the rubber band is released, that stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the paper airplane.

Test
- Make a Paper Airplane. You may make your own OR use the instructions as a guide.
- Test your Airplane. It should go relatively straight. If not, make another one.
- Test how far you can throw your paper airplane with your entire arm. Test 10 times each and record your results.
- Test how far you can throw your paper airplane when ONLY using your wrist. Do not move shoulkders or elbows when throwing. Test 10 times each and record your results.

What did you observe when you threw the plane with only your wrist compared to throwing with your entire arm? How could we make the planes fly farther if we can only launch them over a short distance, like on an aircraft carrier?
Demonstration:
A Simple Airplane Launcher
- Staple a paper clip to the nose of a paper airplane, as shown below.
- Hook the paper clip through one end of the rubber band.
- Loop the other end of the rubber band around the tip of the pencil.
4. Hold the pencil vertically with one end. Use your other hand to pull back the paper airplane, stretching the rubber band, and then release it. Watch the Introductory Video.
