Testing Out the Paper Airplane Designs

Once you have created several different types of paper airplanes, you will want to test them out. Beyond testing whether they can fly you can test out which one will fly the farthest.

You will need to decide how you will measure the distance each plane has flown. You could use a measuring tape if you think the planes will only go a short distance. If you think they will travel farther, you could put out markers that are several feet apart. Make sure yo use a measuring tape or measuring stick to ensure you know how far each marker is from the starting line.

Once each plane has been flown, you will need to record the distance it traveled on your recording sheet.
