6th graders are busy investigating paper airplane designs in order to better understand how their changes affect their designs. Particular care is being given to observing changes in distance flown, height flown, and/or how many twists, loops or stunts the plane performs.
OTA Home Link (all 6th graders should be able to answer the following questions):
- What are some important characteristics of paper airplanes that make them fly farther?
- How does surface area affect how high or far a plane flies?
- What is center of mass and how does it affect the flight of paper airplanes?
