Description

An experiment where students create an unfamiliar paper airplane, that is still able to fly thanks to the forces of thrust and lift.

The year 2 physicals sciences curriculum includes forces like gravity, and how objects move through the air. Our unit plan includes an entire lesson devoted to paper planes, and this alternative experiment might be useful.

Curriculum Codes

Describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape

Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions

Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences

Suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions

Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance

ACSSU033 8.4

A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape

ACSHE034 8.4

Science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects and events

ACSIS037 8.4

Pose and respond to questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events

ACSIS038 8.4

Participate in guided investigations to explore and answer questions

ACSIS041 8.4

Compare observations with those of others

The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape

Respond to and pose questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events

Participate in guided investigations, including making observations using the senses, to explore and answer questions

Compare observations and predictions with those of others
