Lessons In Flight Using Paper Airplanes Research, reading, problem solving, critical thinking and an understanding of the elements of flight and aerodynamics were all utilized when Chad Bigelow, technology integration specialist at Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Elementary School visited with fifth graders in Stephanie Stanton’s class for a hands-on lesson on paper airplanes. Students in Stephanie Stanton’s class took part in a project-based learning lesson on the elements of flight. In front from left are: Stanton; Taylor Trumble; Brian Davis; and Alex Cronk. In back from left are: Nate Dickinson (far back); Jayden Castor; Julianna Britton; Chris Redfield; Chad Bigelow, technology integration specialist; Robert Bolster; Trent Fuller; Leaha Solinsky; and Robin Schreyer, teaching assistant in the class. The students in the week leading up to the event researched flight and studied various elements of aerodynamics and the essentials of flight APW Elementary School Principal Julie Woolson lines up for the long distance – flight time test of her model airplane as Chad Bigelow gets set to time the flight. When Bigelow arrived for the project-based, hands-on application of what they had learned, he gave the students two different sets of instructions on how to fold a paper airplane. The students followed the directions to complete the airplanes and tested them for two aspects of length of flight: 1) how long they stayed airborne and 2) distance traveled from the start. The students made revisions following each flight and when they had determined what helped the planes to complete the two determining aspects for points, they then constructed, using their own design, a third plane.
