Flight Design Challenge Lesson 4
by Chelsey Griess
This is lesson four of a four-part design challenge unit that focuses on the concept of force and motion, specifically the phenomena of flight. Students will need approximately 45 minutes to complete this lesson. Students will modify the paper airplanes that they previously designed, and will evaluate them in today’s lesson. The original criteria for flight distance was that a student’s plane needed to fly at least one meter, but in this lesson the students will modify their designs to get them to fly at least 3 meters.
