This unique and compelling collaborative project is designed to give students in grades 3-5 an opportunity to:

• display their aerodynamic and creative talents. 
• use patterns to create two different styles of paper airplanes.
• determine which type of paper airplane will fly the greatest distance and stay aloft the longest time.

This project has been developed by New Brunswick Public School District teachers in conjunction with CIESE at Stevens Institute of Technology, Bank Street College, and St. Peter's College with support through an Eisenhower Professional Development Program that is administered by the New Jersey State Department of Education. The following teachers participated in the development of the project:   Sheri Hurlburt, Lincoln School; Sandra Jacobowitz, Livingston School; Lanie Sussman, McKinley School; Gina Goble, Redshaw School; and Diane Neal, Woodrow Wilson School.
