Making Scientific Comparisons

You're cleared for take-off with this award-winning volume that helps students learn to act like scientists while having fun. Paper airplanes are the focus as students learn how to "control" experiments to arrive at measurable results. Provides practice in planning, testing, observing, measuring, recording, reporting, explaining and critiquing.

Other activities Which airplane is "best"?, Was our test scientific?, applying good science, questions to be answered by experimentation, doing a "scientific" survey, and, of course, making the airplanes!

Everything's here to help you make each project a success -- organizational procedures, required and optional materials lists (readily available), teaching suggestions, and complete, step-by-step directions for all projects, including illustrated aircraft modifications.

Also features a two-sided, full-color (one side) pull-out poster with Create New Airplane Designs on one side and Doing Scientific Experiments on the other side. Illustrated throughout with helpful line art as well as fun recurring "mouse" characters. All 16 pages perforated for easy removal.
