Overview:
:
Students will work in small groups to construct and analyze paper airplanes to discover what – if anything – they have in common with the way real planes work. Students will be assigned specific roles as a “flight crew” member and be responsible for fulfilling those specific duties. They will summarize their findings in writing as they answer the focus question: How is the construction of a paper airplane connected to the mechanics of a real airplane?
