Paper Airplane Lab Activity | Force and Motion Scientific Investigation

This laws of motion paper airplane activity will have students reviewing the scientific investigation process. In this lab activity, students will design and test their own paper airplane and review key vocabulary: force, gravity, speed and the laws of motion. This is a great exploratory or review activity and it is included in my Force and Motion Unit Bundle!

Students will work in groups of 3 to record and measure the distance and time of their paper airplane in order to calculate speed. Roles are established and detailed directions are given to help students be self-directed learners!
