2 Different ways to go with this project
The build of the plane:
This path focuses on the build of the plane.
It is all about how it is assembled, and the way that it looks. It is something that was meant to sit on a shelf and looked at.

The Process:
Research how to make a balsa wood planes.
Think of things like scale and how to keep the craftsmanship clean.
You will need to sketch out several (5) ideas in order to get your ideas right.

The flight of the plane:
This path is all about the flight of the plane.
This path will test the flight by going to the cat-walk over the lunchroom and measuring the distance and glide time.

The Process:
Research how to make a balsa wood airplane.
Think of things like wing span, glide time, weight...
You will need to figure this stuff out in order to make it successful.
You will need to sketch out several (5) ideas in order to get this right.
Make a paper prototype to test before you start with the wood.

More Bits:
Each students will be given a 36"x3" piece of wood- This is it! Use it wisely
Students can decide what type of plane they want to make.
Students will research and find out how to create a plane for their type they want to make.
