Description
A STEM unit for creating paper airplanes! Students can brainstorm, create, and experiment to make planes. The booklet makes a great assessment print-out tool for tracking students' progress and allows students to showcase their creativity and scientific data.
In this packet, students will have to plan the creation of their planes in advance, justify why they chose certain materials, make predictions about their planes, test their planes and record data, reflect on their planes, and finally, revise and make new planes to test again!
