Students will use stop watches to help understand elapsed time when they fly paper airplanes through the air. Students will then move on to using clocks. Students will work out elapsed time word problems using made up flight schedules.

This paper airplane lesson plan helps students learn about certain concepts like air resistance, motion, and aerodynamics.

Explore flight and the science behind lift and wing shape by creating two paper airplanes - a monoplane glider and a ring-wing glider.
