Do you like airplanes? Do you like making your own plane and having the coolest, most awesome plane around? Well, I sure do and guess what?! I now get to have the most raddest plane ever thanks to 100 Paper Planes to Fold & Fly!! This is such a fun book for kids and adults. It has the paper, instructions on how to fold 4 different types of planes, and 3 game ideas.
What I really LOVE about this book is that you get to have a blast making planes but at the same time, you get to teach your children about science! For quite a few years I thought that science was boring. And then I married Garrett. He is a complete science nerd! He has slowly convinced me that science is actually really neat and interesting. But don't tell him I think that! ;)
Anyways here are the concepts and skills taught by using this book as well as some activity ideas.
Skills/concepts:
- dexterity
- vocabulary- gravity, lift, thrust, drag
- marksmanship/aim
Activities:
- Teach your child about the 4 forces and then have them experiment with altering those forces. For example; add a paper clip or pencil to add weight, have a fan blowing onto the plane, throw the plane harder or softer. You can get more information on the 4 forces here
- Create a course for the plane to fly through.
- Select a target to hit.
- Create your own action packed, plane movie (totally picturing some chase or fighting scenes).
