Models of all kinds are important for testing solutions.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! The iterative process of testing the most promising solutions and modifying what is proposed on the basis of the test results leads to greater refinement and ultimately to an optimal solution. This lesson focuses on the following Three Dimensional Learning aspects of NGSS:ĭevelop a model to generate data to test ideas about designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback!
Become familiar with parts of a paper airplane and how they relate to parts on a real airplane.ĭevelop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.Ĭlick to view other curriculum aligned to this Performance Expectation.Modify one of their designed airplanes in an attempt to improve its flight.Design at least two different paper airplanes.And, they experiment with many different designs to find the one that best meets the design objectives.Īfter this lesson, students should be able to: When designing airplanes, engineers often build small-scale model to test how they fly without building large and expensive full-size aircraft. The process of iterative design helps engineers learn from the mistakes of early designs. This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS). This prepares students for the associated activity in which they first make and test several provided paper airplane designs, after which they design and test their own paper airplane designs. They also learn how engineers make small-scale models to test ideas and improve early designs.
They learn about the basic parts that can be found on most airplanes, and their functions. The goal is for students to learn important aircraft design considerations and how engineers must iterate their designs to achieve success. Students are introduced to the art of designing airplanes through paper airplane constructions.
