Since some of us are just a few days away from leaving on a JET PLANE, for vacations, it would be fitting to learn about planes and test our young KCP Engineers to see who comes up with the best design. 

Welcome to the 5th Annual KCP Elementary Paper Airplane Challenge.  (KCP TOP GUN5) 

WHEN?  Monday, June 16th. 10:00 am. 

WHERE? Elementary basketball court. 

WHO? Maximum of two participants from each class. 

WHAT?  One paper plane made from 8.5 by 11 regular paper with no additions.  

You will compete against all upper elementary students (grades 3-5) to create a paper plane airplane that will fly further than any other one.  This will use the scientific method to go through all stages of design and competition.  

STEP 1: PROBLEM- How can we create a plane that flies the furthest.

STEP 2: RESEARCH- Background Information and design study

STEP 3: PLAN + DESIGN -Make a plane to be tested

STEP 4: TEST + DATA -Measuring Distance, Time, and Straightness

STEP 5: CONCLUSION - We Find the Winner and Best Design

This website is dedicated to the history, design, and science of flight.
