STEP #1:RESEARCH
Flight Works Alabama
Watch "How to design an airplane."
STEP #2:EXPERIMENT
Flight Works Alabama
Withoutusing any external resources:- NO internet- NO adult assistance- NO social mediaCreate a paper airplane with one sheet of regular white paper.
Launch your aircraft with all of your strength!
STEP #3:MEASURE
Flight Works Alabama
After you launch your aircraft into the air, record your results.A few items to note when you record your distances:
Throw your aircraft multiple times from the same starting position.Record each of your flight distances.Don't be discouraged if you fail.Failure helps you move forward.
STEP #4:WATCH AND BUILD
Flight Works Alabama
TRADITIONAL AIRPLANE #1
TRADITIONAL AIRPLANE #2
Watch each tutorial and build each of the traditional paper airplanes.
STEP #5:RECORD

= (A + B+ C)/3
= (D+E+F)/3
Can't print one from home?Create your own!

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.
GO CREATE!
STEP #7:COMPARE
Flight Works Alabama
Make multiple designs! Record the data!
STEP #8: CHALLENGE
Flight Works Alabama
Once you have perfected your design, challenge someone!
I used to make paper airplanes all of the time! I bet I could show a few techniques...
Sounds like fun!
Anything you can do, I can do better!
