Glider Challenge
by Misty Schreiber
This STEM lesson is all about foam gliders, aerodynamics, and the engineering design process. Students will explore flight through foam gliders and then use what they learn to plan and construct their own glider to launch off the top of a 2nd story building. You can modify this depending on what you want out of it.
