Thursday, February 23, 2006 - Paper Airplanes
Weaver Unit 4, Chapter 5 Transportation
We found a great book on making paper airplanes at the library. Since we're not working on the hot air balloon, I thought we would give our hand at making complex paper airplanes. It was fun, a bit hard for my 3 year old but she still enjoyed having me do it for her---and of she loved flying it.
When we took the planes outside for flight the learning continued.
From this project the kids learned: Basic parts of an airplane, uses of airplanes, aerodynamics, friction, wind effects...and probably other things I haven't thought of.
