NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS:

1. Creativity and Innovation

Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students:

a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.

b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.

d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.

3. Research and Informational Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students:

a. plan strategies to guide inquiry.

b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.

c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.

d. process data and report results.

4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making

Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students:

a. identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation.

b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project..

c. collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions.

d. use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions.

OBJECTIVE:

• The student will research plans for paper airplanes. The student will create a paper airplane that will be flown for distance and accuracy.

LEARNING TARGETS:

• I can research plans for paper airplanes and then create a paper airplane that will be flown for distance and accuracy.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Watch the YouTube video at the top:
2. Now go to a search engine. Examples include:
   1. www.google.com
   2. www.bing.com
3. Try to make use of Boolean logic in your search queries. For example:
   1. Paper Airplanes” AND lift
   2. “Paper Airplanes” AND distance
   3. For more information go to: http://kathyschrock.net/rbs3k/boolean/
4. Research paper airplanes.
5. Find at least three designs that you would like to try.
6. The categories include distance and accuracy.
7. We will be testing these designs in the gymnasium for two (2) days with the championship held on Day 3.

SUBMITTED WORK:

1. Part of this assignment will be evaluated by instructor observation.
