Description

Class Experience

-Have you ever wondered how to make a better paper airplane? In this class we will make three airplanes out of paper and test them out ourselves. 

-We will practice making predictions by stating what plane design we think will be the go the farthest of our three planes. 

-We will then test the limits of our planes by throwing them and recording how far they flew.

-At the end of class we will discuss our results and see which airplane design flew the furthest.

*Students can choose to free...

-Students will gain experience making predictions, and then conducting a quick experiment to verify or disprove their prediction. 
-Students will gain practice with public speaking as they state their prediction for the farthest flying airplane in front of their peers. 
-Students will learn how to fold three types of planes.

During my time working in Montessori schools I was given the opportunity to design and implement a summer camp program that integrated scientific and cultural exploration with hands-on projects. One of our camp sessions was a STEM camp that covered the basic laws of physics (Newton's laws of motion) and then provided campers with an experiential opportunity to apply what they had learned. It was a joy to teach and assist my students as they conquered these previously uncharted territories and I am only too happy to replicate that adventure here on Outschool.

Paper and a measuring tape, yard stick or ruler. Anything to help measure how far their plane has flown.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
