Curated OER
Paper Airplanes
Students study paper airplanes. In this lesson on aerodynamics, students print out the folding directions for making paper airplanes and after making the planes test their paper airplanes to see how well each flies. Students weigh their...
Curated OER
Meat Tray Airplane
Students discover what they can do working with their hands and common tools and materials. They create airplanes out of styrofoam meat trays.
Curated OER
Banana Man Glider
Students incorporate technology into the classroom as they investigate force and motion. In this science lesson, students construct a glider to be able to safely take a banana to the ground without dropping it. They investigate flight,...
Curated OER
Science: Flight Aerodynamics
Young scholars apply the principles of aerodynamics by constructing styrofoam airplanes. By using simple tools and materials, they improve their spatial visualization abilities while increasing motor skills. After small groups of...
