Identify Evidence:
1. The students will demonstrate their ability to carry
out a plan by drawing and building their paper
airplane so it can fly.
2. The students will demonstrate their knowledge of
shapes by labeling each shape on their design of
their paper airplane.
Program Monitoring:
The teacher will check each students design to see if they
labeled the shapes and if the airplane looks like something
that could have the ability to fly.
Safety Considerations:
Make sure the students do not get
hurt by the paper airplanes.
Adult Roles:
The teacher needs to facilitate the throwing of the planes
and also the measuring and recording of the distances.
Learning Experience
Academic Language: Airplane, Fold, Thrust, Gravity
Procedural steps:
-The teacher will have a model of a paper airplane and
will demonstrate how folding the paper will create the
plane.
-The teacher will then ask the students to draw their
own design for a paper airplane and what it would look
like when it is done.
-When the students are done with their design, they will
label all of the shapes that will be on their plane.
-Then the students will get a new piece of paper and
they will fold the paper so that they can make their
plane.
-The whole class will then go to a hallway that is not
used as much and throw the paper planes one by one.
-The teacher will have a meter stick and will help the
students record the distance of their throws.
-They will have two rounds of eliminations and each
round they will start with new scores. So the planes
have to be consistently good to win.
-At the end there will be a winner and that winner will
get a piece of candy.
-Then the students will turn in their design paper with
the shapes labeled and write a sentence on the back
about whether or not their plane did well.
