Tips/Tricks

• THIS ACTIVITY HAS A TRICK… PLEASE READ BEFORE TRYING THIS ACTIVITY
  • This is a ONE TIME activity. If anyone in the class has done this activity before they will “ruin” it for everyone.
  • Students will probably try to make a paper airplane… that’s the idea.
  • The TRICK however, is to make a paper ball. Both are acceptable
