paper airplane

In this activity, young learners explore the engineering design process by constructing and flying paper airplanes. They also practice counting and use math to compare the distance flown by different throws.

In this activity, students learn about counting by looking at pictures of aircraft and counting how many there are to keep the airport runway from getting too crowded. They also discuss their favorite things to count and learn about the importance of counting.

In this lesson, students will learn about the movements of an airplane (pitch, yaw, roll) through a read-aloud and discussion. They will then participate in a conga line activity, where they will practice these movements while pretending to be airplanes. The lesson concludes with a summary encouraging students to think about the parts of a plane that make these movements happen and to continue having fun pretending to be airplanes.

In this activity, students will learn about seeds that fly by reading a book about seeds and discussing different examples. They will then make and fly paper whirly-birds that resemble maple seeds, and discuss the similarities between the whirly-birds and helicopters. The activity aims to teach students about how seeds fly in nature and encourage them to observe seeds flying in their everyday lives.

In this activity, students will learn about different aircraft sounds by listening to sound clips and matching them with corresponding pictures. They will also have the opportunity to make their own airplane sounds and discuss the importance of listening carefully to understand the world better.
