• Paper Airplane Project

  • • Write step-by-step instructions for making a paper airplane.

    • Trade these instructions with another group

    • Use the instructions you receive to try to make the plane the other group did.

    • Edit and make comments on their instructions as to which parts were clear, and which were confusing

    • Return their instructions, and get your own back.

    • Write a final draft of your instructions, using the suggestions from your partner group

    • On the same page, answer these questions:

      1. What changes did you make to your instructions? How did this help make them more clear?

      2. Explain how Newton's 3rd Law affects how a paper airplane flies. How does your plane use Newton's 3rd law?

      3. Explain how the Bernoulli Principle affects how a paper airplane flies. How does your plane use the Bernoulli Principle

    • We will have 2 competitions for extra credit; one for farthest distance, and one for longest time in the air.

    • Projects are due no later than Thursday, 2/4
