Paper Glider Design
by Jaime Camero
Students will design paper gliders to develop an understanding of the principles of flight. This is a low-tech lesson that does not require extensive/expensive supplies. It can be scaled up or down, dependent on whether the teacher would like to teach fewer or additional concepts.
