We’re going to explore what makes a paper airplane fly well. Is it the way we fold it? The shape of the wings? The type of paper we use? By the end of our project, we’ll know all the secrets to making the best paper airplane ever. Let’s get ready to experiment, learn, and have fun flying our creations!

This week, we had an exciting start to our project on paper airplanes! We learned about how paper airplanes were invented, why people love flying them, and even about a big competition in Austria where people from all over the world see whose paper airplane flies the farthest. After our research, each group worked together to create informative posters with the facts we discovered.

This week, our class took a trip to Austria—well, almost! We learned all about this amazing country and its rich culture. As part of our project, we made beautiful flags and maps, which we colored and cut out ourselves. We're so proud of our work and can't wait to show you what we've learned!

This week our young researchers dove into the fascinating science behind how and why paper airplanes fly.

🛫 What We Learned:

1. Lift

2. Thrust

3. Drag

4. Gravity

5. Weight

Following our exciting exploration of forces that help paper airplanes fly, Week 4 was all about hands-on fun with "Making and Testing Our Paper Airplanes." Our 1st graders put their newfound knowledge to the test and had a blast designing and flying their own creations!

✂️ Designing and Making:

1. Design Phase: Students started the week by designing their own paper airplanes. They used their understanding of lift, thrust, gravity, and drag from the previous week to create unique airplane models. We provided various materials like colorful paper, markers, and rulers to help them bring their designs to life.

2. Construction: With their designs in hand, the kids folded, cut, and decorated their paper airplanes. They experimented with different folding techniques and wing shapes to see how these changes would impact their planes' flight.

🚀 Testing and Observing:

1. Flight Tests: Students took their airplanes to our “testing area” where they threw them with different amounts of thrust to observe how their designs flew. We set up measuring tapes to track the distance each airplane traveled.

2. Observation and Improvement: After each test flight, students observed how their planes behaved. They used these observations to adjust their designs and test again, learning through trial and error.

3. Sharing Results: At the end of the week, students shared their findings with the class. They discussed what changes improved their airplanes' performance and how their understanding of forces influenced their design choices.

This week, our 1st graders have been hard at work preparing for the school fair. They’ve created posters showcasing the results of their research and highlighting the unique characteristics of the paper airplanes they designed and tested. From aerodynamics to design tweaks, they've learned so much and can't wait to share it with everyone! Here's a sneak peek at them putting the final touches on their project. ✈️💡 #FutureEngineers #SchoolFairPrep #STEMInAction

This week, our 1st graders have taken their project to the next level by creating amazing cardboard airplanes to decorate the classroom. They added their own artistic touch, using colors that represent Austria—the home of the paper airplane competition we're learning about! We’re so proud of their creativity and teamwork. Stay tuned for the final reveal at the school fair! 🇦🇹✈️ #CreativeLearning #AustrianColors #STEMAndArt

During the School Fair, our classroom became a stage for a Paper Airplane Flight Show, where students demonstrated their findings by presenting the different airplane models they created. After their presentations, visitors—including parents and members of the school community—enjoyed watching the students fly the airplanes they had worked so hard to make.
