Narrative Writing Piece

Students will design a paper airplane and test to see how improvements can ensure the plane that travels the farthest distance. Then they will modify the plane to see if it goes farther than the first flight. Students are limited to 2 modifications. Students must record their data in a graph (ie: distance from each test flight), draw a diagram of each design, AND note any modifications. Another student will use the first student's notes to replicate the building and the success of the design.

Students will research information on the topic of choice and prepare a presentation to convey information to the class.
