Grade 5 Paper Aeroplane Projects

In conjunction with their flight simulation project, the grade 5 students have begun researching information on Inventors and their Inventions. The class was divided into 4 groups, each researching an important flight invention. They are: Orville & Wilbur Wright - aeroplane, Igor Sikorsky - helicopter, Montgolfier Brothers - hot air balloon & Robert H. Goddard - liquid fuel rocket.

In addition here are some photos of the students experimenting with different designs of paper aeroplanes. We got the information from a book written by a man called Ken Blackburn who holds the record for the longest (time) flight of a paper aeroplane (18 seconds!).
