Your young airplane enthusiasts will enjoy this collaborative task of graphing an airplane's distance from the ground as it flies in a perfect circle. They will discover that they have graphed a sinusoidal function that comes from the periodic nature of the airplane's distance from the ground. Connecting key features on the graph with the real-life situation is also a benefit that comes from this collaborative task.
