This week the students will be creating a paper airplane using 1 sheet of standard printer paper and 12 inches of clear tape. They will be documenting their work using a Prezi.com presentation. Their prezi must include the following slides.
Slide 1 : Title Slide (Student Name and The Airplane's Name)
Slide 2: Planning Slide. The students must identify 3 key items that they believe create the most successful plane.
Slide 3: A minimum of 3 prototypes. Each prototype must have a brief explanation of what they think will work well and one challenge the prototype will present.
Slide 4: Their Design Process. This slide will include the process for their design.
Slide 5: Their Testing Phase. This slide will include how their testing went, any changes/alterations to the design, and their best guess for their result.
Slide 6: The Final Design
Their Challenge is to create a paper airplane that can be thrown and will land in a 4ft x 4ft landing box located 10 feet away from the launch site. This isn't a challenge of speed or distance. It is a challenge of control. Their airplane can take any form as along as it is documented in the Prezi. Good Luck.
Below are a few links to Paper Airplane Designs for your research.

You may save the pictures of your prototypes to your L: Drive and insert them into your Prezi.
