Paper Pilot Dylan talks Curriculum: Aerodynamics can be quite a difficult topic to discuss or even expect retention in such a young age group (K-6 or even 7-12). I regularly find teachers a little hesitant to get too complicated but with the help of paper planes and other flying contraptions, students are able to absorb a lot more than you’d expect. The great thing is that discussing flight offers 4 main forces students can explore and experiment with. Talking through these forces in context to their paper planes is a great way for them to problem solve and manipulate how these forces might effect their planes performance – the stakes get a little higher when what you’re making needs to fly high amongst all of your year group. Gravity, thrust (energy

transfer), drag (air resistance) and lift (the rock’n’roll flight force) are all easily worked through and discussed amongst students. The workshops I run also look at flight in nature, transport and the importance of efficiency and getting from point A to point B as well as the history of flight (through from ancient Chinese kite makers to supersonic flight and even human achievements such as standing on the moon). In addition to science, there are many links through design, maths and also even the technology side of things, the STEM champions really love the idea of using paper planes or my workshops at their schools for this very reason.

4. Fold the pointed end of the paper down.

5. Fold corner A towards edge B. This fold is indicated with the dotted line. Repeat on both sides.

6. Fold the tip of the plane down to create the tip of your plane.

7. Fold your plane in half, mimicking the fold in step 1.

8. Fold the wings down. Make sure the body of the plane sits in a ‘Y’ shape when looking from the back.

9. Fold up the winglets on each side.

•

Circling Clive Paper Plane Template on pages 9 and 10 printed doublesided.

1. Fold your piece of A4 paper in half and then open the fold back up again.

2. Fold the top corners of the page down diagonally to meet the centre crease.

3. Again, fold the top edges of the page diagonally to meet the centre crease.

4. Fold the tip of the plane down, creating a fold about 7.5cm from the top.

5. Fold your plane in half along the crease you created in step 1.

6. Fold the wings down, one at a time. Make sure the wings are equal.

Help your plane stand out with themed craft paper available in assorted colourful designs! 7. Finally, fold down both of the winglets. Unfurl to be perpendicular to the wing.

Nakamura Materials: •

CleverPatch™ Copy Paper Brights – A4 – Pack of 250 – 16220

•

Nakamura Paper Plane Template on pages 11 and 12 printed double-sided.

1. Fold your piece of A4 paper in half like a mountain and then open the fold back up again.

2. Fold the top corners of the page down diagonally to meet the centre crease.

3. Fold the pointed end of the paper down.

4. Fold the newly created top corners down to touch the centre crease.

5. Fold the pointed tip back up over the edges you just folded in.

6. Re-fold over the crease you created in step 1. Then fold both wings up.

Experiment with different papers to see what gives you the best result for distance when thrown. 7. Flatten out the plane. Fold the tip of the plane 3 times, back and forth along the dotted lines shown. © CleverPatch 2017 - www.cleverpatch.com.au

8. Re-fold the plane into shape.
