Paper planes are fun to make and fly, so they make a great activity for learning about the science behind flight. This pack contains experiments that illustrate the forces of flight in action, and an interactive visual aid so students can see the forces that act on a plane in a hands-on way. These activities are cross-curricular as measurement skills are used to record how far the planes fly, and students determine the best unit of measurement. For younger students, the experiment asks them to record distance using their steps. Teaching points are included along with recommended websites to help explain the concepts. What’s included? Experiment for younger students: use a light and strong throw to see how it affects the distance the plane flies (measuring using their steps) Experiment to plan and carry out a test to show how wings are needed to create lift, and how thrust is needed to make a plane move Experiment to show how the strength of a throw affects the distance, and use observations and measurements to predict what would happen with more throws Experiment to show how drag/air resistance affects a plane with and without flaps Visual directions to make a simple dart airplane, but students may know other designs they could use Interactive notebook activity, visual directions Teaching points Useful websites U.K and U.S versions included Editable version (text is editable, images/layout aren’t) 15 pages included. You will receive a PDF and PPTX file.

This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of the Great Fire of London in order. I’ve included the actions of Samuel Pepys in the timeline because it’s interesting, such as his priority to bury wine and cheese (which seems odd to us now, but they would have been very expensive items back then), and because he was a significant figure at the time who left a valuable primary source detailing the event. There are two options to choose from: Worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue events next to the dates (easier option) or write dates and glue events on (harder version). Foldable timeline – glue events below the dates and pictures. I’ve included a set of clues to help children put the events in order, if needed. These can be cut up or left as is.
