Paper+Airplanes

=Paper Airplanes =

- different paper - different size paper clips - marker, glue, scissors, tapes, etc.
 * Materials:**

Demonstrate experimenting with "passengers" by adding paper clips and subtracting paper clips from the paper airplanes.
 * Opener**:

-Students use a variety of papers to create their own paper airplanes -Add people (paperclips with paper cut outs- optional) to experiment with how weight affects the plane -Make additional planes -Compare results with own planes and planes of classmates
 * Activity Description:**

-5 girls, 11 boys
 * Results**:

Science and Technology/Engineering 8 Recognize that gravity is a force that pulls all things on and near the earth toward the center of the earth. Gravity plays a major role in the formation of the planets, stars, and solar system and in determining their motions. 6,7,8,

Topic:Motion of Objects Science and Technology/Engineering 11 Explain and give examples of how the motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed. 6,7,8, Science and Technology/Engineering 9999 12 Graph and interpret distance vs. time graphs for constant speed. 6,7,8,

Topic:Observable Properties of Objects Science and Technology/Engineering 1 Sort objects by observable properties such as size, shape, color, weight, and texture. PreK,K,1,2,

Topic:Position and Motion of Objects Science and Technology/Engineering 3 Describe the various ways that objects can move, such as in a straight line, zigzag, back-and-forth, round-and-round, fast, and slow. PreK,K,1,2, Science and Technology/Engineering 4 Demonstrate that the way to change the motion of an object is to apply a force (give it a push or a pull). The greater the force, the greater the change in the motion of the object. PreK,K,1,2,

Topic:Properties of Objects and Materials Science and Technology/Engineering 9999 1 Differentiate between properties of objects (e.g.g, size, shape, weight) ad properties of materials (e.g., color, texture, hardness). 3,4,5,

Identify and explain the appropriate tools, machines, and electronic devices (e.g., drawing tools, computer-aided design, and cameras) used to produce and/or reproduce design solutions (e.g., engineering drawings, prototypes, and reports). 6,7,8,

Science and Technology/Engineering 2.5 Explain how such design features as size, shape, weight, function, and cost limitations would affect the construction of a given prototype. 6,7,8,

Science and Technology/Engineering 1.3 Identify and describe the safe and proper use of tools and materials (e.g., glue, scissors, tape, ruler, paper, toothpicks, straws, spools) to construct simple structures. PreK,K,1,2,
