![]() Put the first a few meters in front of where the students throw from and hang the second a few meters ahead and to the left (or right) of the first hoop so the students paper airplanes will have to change direction in order to make it through the second hoop. Give everyone a few tries and compare the best results, what did the best designs look like? What dart designs failed?įor the second challenge hang two hoops with a diameter of around a meter from the roof. Give everyone some paper to work with (it's a good chance to use recycled paper) and tell them to design two paper airplanes, one that is designed purely for maximum distance and one that is designed to change directions and fly through two hoops.įor the first challenge you need a big enough space to measure the length the paper airplanes flew (preferably indoors to avoid weather disadvantages such as wind and rain). Making paper airplanes is a fun activity that you can use to challenge students knowledge of flight principles as well as their design and problem solving skills.
