Supplies: A Straw, Paper, Ruler, Pencil, Scissors, Tape, and a Taper Measure
Measure and cut paper in to a 2 inch by 4 inch rectangle.
Wrap the paper around the straw lengthwise and tape it, forming a long tube.
Take the tube off of the straw. Pinch the top and seal it closed with tape.
Slide the tube back onto the straw and blow hard. Prepare for launch! How far did it fly?
Improve it! Add a cone. Add fins. What kind of paper could you try? Could your fuselage be longer?
