I wonder what plane will fly further?

Today we experimented with paper planes. We got three different types of paper - white paper, black cartridge and cardboard.  We talked about what type of paper would make our plane fly the furthest.  The children touched the three types of paper and noticed that they felt different, one observation was that the card was thicker than the paper. We then got started on making the planes, making sure the design was the same for each one. We had turns standing in the same spot to fly each plane and we discovered that the plane made of cardboard went the furthest.
The children were very engaged and curious when participating in this experiment and very eager to make predictions!
