*this video has a quick tutorial at the beginning of how to fold a simple paper airplane.  I would suggest watching the video through first and then go back a second time and have your child fold the plane.

*listen for the meaning of the vocabulary words “thrust” and “lift.”    

Application: Practice flying your plane.  If you provide more thrust, does it go farther?  Does your plane have enough lift to keep it in the air for several seconds.
