Listed below are three simple paper airplane designs to include in your STEM aerodynamics lesson. The children were engaged and interested for long periods of time, designing their own planes, coloring them, trying out different styles, and testing flight! Teach your students about the different components of flight while making it a fun and memorable experience! As a summer camp counselor, I used this project nearly every week. Paper airplanes are the perfect STEM project for classroom science lessons! It’s an easy and fun lesson idea for large groups of children, and teaches key scientific concepts like aerodynamics, velocity, thrust, speed, and other scientific forces.
