Activities - Aerospace
Airplane design - Submitted
by Jarrin Sperry and Tom Brunner, Corry
School District, Corry, PA
Science Concepts:
Four
forces of flight: lift, thrust, drag,
gravity
PA Standards Addressed:
- Students will build two paper airplanes
of their own design
- After students build planes, they
will observe and record a flight log,
including:
- time aloft (in seconds)
- distance flown (in meters)
- acrobatics accuracy (target flight;
in centimeters)
- Students will hypothesize which planes
will perform best in each area of flight
- Students will then test hypotheses
and vary flight dynamics of planes through
use of tape, paperclips, etc.
