Paper Plane Flight Measurement and Data Guide for Ages 6–12

Guide children ages 6–12 through a hands-on paper-plane flight investigation using predictions, repeated trials, distance measurements, and recorded results. The guide supports comparing plane designs, interpreting evidence, and discussing fair testing, with suggested materials including paper, measuring tapes, floor markers, recording sheets, and pencils. Use it for a practical math and science investigation that gets learners measuring, organizing data, and explaining what they observe. Adapt the recording and discussion to children’s measuring skills.
