Paper Airplane Flight Contest!

We have been learning about the forces of flight.  We learned that planes require four forces to stay aloft:  thrust, drag, lift and gravity.

ANNOUNCING:  Our class will be holding a paper airplane contest on Wednesday, May 16th!

RULES: 
1.  The plane must be made of a single sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch copy paper.  It may be cut smaller, but it cannot be larger.

2.  You may use tape, glue, or paper clips. 

3. The plane must be thrown from level ground. 

4.  Timing will begin when you release the plane and end when the plane touches ANYTHING (the floor, a wall, a chair, etc.)

GOOD LUCK!
