Paper Airplanes in School?



We divided into 4 "corporations" to design and build the best airplane.  It's all economics!  We had 5 minutes to come up with a "business plan." We decided on the design and how to get it built fastest.  Then we had 3 minutes to build and test the planes.  The team that got the most planes through the hoops won!  This activity created great questions about successful business practices and market economies in the United States.  Social Studies can be fun!
