Throwing paper airplanes for distance

We will be in the front lobby periods 1,2, and 7, throwing paper airplanes a distance of 10-meters to earn an "A" on that project. The kiddoes are now well versed on the Bernoulli principle of wing design and Newton's Third Law of Motion dealing with action and reaction. For the past week, I have watched these cherubs design, build and test various types of paper airplanes. Each time, learning a bit more about flight, friction, drag, thrust, and, of course, gravity.

Have a great night folks.
