When outdoors, encourage children to slow down and observe the sky. Look for clouds, birds, and planes. Notice wind speed and direction. Track contrails. Invite children to move their bodies like imaginary airplanes. These can be sources of inspiration for young aviators. Inventors of early flying machines often were inspired by nature. Older children can also learn about plane movements like roll, yaw, and pitch. A few folds, a couple of adjustments, and you have a superb paper flyer.
The properties of paper give the airplane all the attributes it needs. Older children may enjoy making planes that the youngest children in the program can play with. Young preschoolers may need assistance folding their planes. Toddlers will enjoy chasing after planes thrown by older people and bringing them back for another flight. Allow children to decorate and personalize the paper prior to folding the design.
More experienced children can tackle folding designs for specific flight outcomes. Children will have more success if the paper airplane nose is heavier than the tail section.
This is usually accomplished with some extra folds. If the nose drops and the plane dives into the ground, bend up the back of the wings. A little bend goes a long way.
If the nose rises first and then drops, the plane is stalling.

Helmore, Jim. Best friends Mia and Ben love playing together, especially making paper airplanes. They put their creative problem solving skills to good use when Ben moves away - by building paper airplanes together passing them back and forth between each other through the mail! Woodroffe, David. Many people do not consider the science behind what makes a paper airplane fly, but this can be a great way to help kids not only learn, but enjoy science. There are various ways to fold paper into airplanes and each may have different flights.
For instance, an airplane that has balance of lift, thrust, gravity, and drag will fly longer whereas a plane that with little or no balance will have shorter flights or may possibly nose dive straight to the floor. Using your newfound knowledge of paper airplane aerodynamics, you can do science experiments. Use various types of paper and various paper airplane designs to test which type of paper or airplane design flies the best.
You can then determine what forces were at work with the individual designs that may have caused the long or short flights. The links below will direct you to some paper airplane science experiments for you to try. These can be used by parents and teachers to help children with learning. Try one of these paper plane science experiments for your next school science fair. On Time. Stay Happy. Part Number Specification. Accepting Orders.
