STEP #1: RESEARCH

Launch your aircraft with all of your strength!

Without using any external resources:- NO internet - NO adult assistance - NO social media Create a paper airplane with one sheet of regular white paper.

STEP #2: EXPERIMENT

  1. Throw your aircraft multiple times from the same starting position.
  2. Record each of your flight distances.
  3. Don't be discouraged if you fail.Failure helps you move forward.

After you launch your aircraft into the air, record your results.A few items to note when you record your distances:

STEP #5: RECORD

GO CREATE!

  • Brainstorm!
  • Think about your research:
    • What was successful about the paper airplanes you built?
    • What failures did you experience?
  • Try different things:
    • Change the type of paper.
    • Add weight in the nose (paperclip, penny, etc.).
    • Create more acute angles in the design.

STEP #6: Brainstorm

Make multiple designs! Record the data!

STEP #7: COMPARE

Anything you can do, I can do better!

Sounds like fun!

I used to make paper airplanes all of the time! I bet I could show a few techniques...

Once you have perfected your design, challenge someone!
