Combine measurement, following directions, physics, and art with one fun activity. Learners read a set of instruction to create three different kinds of paper airplanes. They measure, fold, and fly the planes, and record data and answer...

Students create a paper dart airplane and measure its flight pattern. In this flight instructional activity, students follow the included directions to build their own paper airplane. The students change the aileron configurations to see...

Learners demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle, review the influences that affected the Wright Brothers, and make and modify paper airplanes. This amazing lesson plan has an excellent structure, and very clear plans for the students to...

Young mathematicians investigate that things move in a directional path. They construct a paper airplane and measure an airplane's length of flight. Everyone constructs a map with a key showing their airplane's flight path

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, future flight experts plot points to determine whether or not an airplane will fly. With the four forces of weight, lift, drag, and thrust represented in different quadrants, your physics learners...

Young learners consider what flies and what kinds of sounds airplanes, animals, etc. make when they fly. They also get to generate a brainstorm list. Children discuss what the categories should be once the list is completed. Some really...

In this Mother Goose airplane worksheet, students read a rhyme about an airplane. Students cut out 7 pieces and paste them on another paper to create a plane.

The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...

Seventh graders identify variables and controls in a paper airplane investigation. In this scientific method lesson, 7th graders conduct an experiment to determine the variables that affect the flight of paper airplanes. They design an...

Students review the principles of flight before performing a series of simple experiments. Working in small groups, they complete hands-on activities that demonstrate the principles that make it possible for an airplane to lift into air...

Learners discover how air pressure effects flight.  In this physics lesson, students create two types of airplane wings so they can observe the way air pressure creates lift.  Learners utilize a printout to create the airplane...

Students practice their throwing overhand skill with an emphasis on the cue of "stepping with the opposite foot." The teacher could use activities of focusing on stepping with the opposite foot prior to this one for help of mastering the...

Young scholars have the opportunity to participate in a simulation that enables them explain the characteristics of a Market Economic System.

High school physicists demonstrate Bernoulli's Principle by blowing on different items and finding that they do not move in the expected direction! They apply Bernoulli's equation to the flight of an airplane. This well-organized lesson...

What is the difference between a proactive person and a reactive person? Scholars explore the topic, and many others, with helpful lessons, discussions, role play activities, and games. Each activity supports one of the key principles...

Young scholars observe a video about pilots, their desired traits, and explore the similarities between a bird and an airplane. Using paper, wood or foam, they design create an aircraft to be flown in a competition to see which plane...

Students create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Learners develop an understanding of the journalistic concept of the "news angle," by examining the newspaper coverage of an airplane disaster.

Learners discover the difference between form and shape as it pertains to interior design. After identifying objects as either shapes or forms, they design their own shapes and give them form. Activities include creating shapes and...

Pupils investigate Bernoulli's principle of air pressure and how it relates to the lift of an airplane. Students identify various Aeronautical vocabulary terms. Pupils construct a paper glider and experiment with the control surfaces of...

Students engage in a lesson plan in order to create blueprints to design an original floorplan. They use graphing paper and drawing tools to demonstrate knowledge of the lesson plan objectives. Students label and use the right kind of...

Students work in groups to calculate the costs of a trip to Six Flags amusement park. In this domain and range lesson, students calculate the least and greatest amounts of money needed for tickets, food, souvenirs, and airplane tickets.

Seventh graders study how real airplanes fly and then they construct models of paper airplanes using design resources for the Internet and their own design. They use meaurement and caluculations in order to help them construct their...

Young scholars explore the history of flight, specifically the Wright brothers. Pupils create paper airplanes. They discuss considerations in building an aircraft such as drag, thrust, and weight. Classmates compare the Wright...
