Main Challenge! 

This week’s challenge is to put your engineering hat on to design and test the best paper airplane.

Materials

Paper

Optional materials – scissors, paper clips, pens to decorate

Paper aeroplanes can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Your job is to make a few, then test which travel the furthest.

Use the sheet below to help you create some planes (you could also design some of your own.)

When they are ready, test how far the travel using the guide below.
