Introduce or review the Scientific Method in a fun way with this simple activity. Your students will create various planes in order to test a single variable effect on flying distance. Great for inquiry, collaboration, and developing research skills. Fully editable Word document which can be altered to fit your students' needs. It can be as complicated or simple as you like and works great for students with learning difficulties.

It is a great activity for all grade levels and a terrific reinforcement activity for the scientific method. I've also included a video on paper airplane competitions to peak their interest.

Students will:

• Learn how to build a paper airplane
• Create a hypothesis and identify variables
• Alter their design to create one variable to test
• Test their designs to determine the how changing the variable impacts flying time by collecting data
• Analyze results and write a conclusion

As a special bonus, when you download this freebie, you'll get access to a variety of additional resources, FREE.

This lab is meant to be done after learning/reviewing the scientific method. All the information your students will need and more can be found here in the Scientific Method, Skills, and Safety PowerPoint lesson package.
