OPTION 3: PAPER PLANES- Design and build a paper airplane. Test your plane. How far did it fly? Why didn’t it fly farther? Redesign the plane to make it better. Repeat at least 3 times. Record each design and make notes about how each flew (how fast, how far, in what direction). Which design was best overall? Why?
OPTION 4: TOP THAT HAT -Design a hat for a friend or family member. The hat should have a special purpose like Uncle Fred’s did (to keep away the pythons). Who is the hat for? What does it look like? What is its special purpose? Write a story about the hat or make a detailed drawing or model. Label each part of the hat and explain how it works.
