Paper Airplanes

Materials:

scrap paper

several books or handouts with paper airplane design instructions, if available

Directions:

1) Build a paper airplane. Experiment with different designs.

2) What shapes fly longest? Highest? Do the most tricks?

Explanation: Again, as you vary the shapes, sizes and paper types used to build the airplanes, you'll get airplanes which behave very differently.
