Paper Airplane Lab
Recently, my statistics class was working on a paper airplane lab. My principal’s wife (who runs our library) walked down the hall while we were carrying our experiment on the effect the wingspan of a paper airplane has on distance traveled.
She didn’t say anything, but I can only imagine the conversation that probably ensued between her and her husband regarding my unique teaching methods…
I try not to post pictures of my actual students. But, I think this one turned out blurry enough that I’m safe!
It’s hard to see, but we definitely had some unexpected results with Airplane #4.
