A great one to get the kids outside on a nice day. This lesson asks students to create a paper airplane and record how far it flies and how long it was able to stay airborne (hang-time). Students can then modify the plane (without starting over) to maximize either its ability to fly far or for a long time. An award can be given to the best in each category. Optional: Students who do not need a lot of remediation may compete for the "best looking" plane as well. - FOR TEACHERS: PowerPoint introducing STEM You should use your existing resources to teach the CSOs. The idea is that these lessons tie common concepts from Math and Science together in a way that gives students extra immersion in the content and an opportunity to use higher-order thinking skills to create or improve a unique product.
