This week we are making straw airplanes. All you will need is a regular-sized sheet of paper or cardstock, four straws, scissor, tape, and markers etc. to decorate.
First, you will take each strip of paper and decorate them however you wish. Then tape the ends together, forming a circle.
Next, take your 4 straws and cut the bendy part off of each one. Tape each straw, evenly spaced apart, to the inside of the bigger paper circle just as the picture shows.
Then tape the straws to the outside of the smaller paper circle at the top, once again evenly spacing:
Your airplane is ready to fly! Which way does it fly the best? Does it fly better throwing it with the larger end forward, or the smaller end? Why do you think that is?
