GLIDER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

​

​

STAGE 1 - PLANNING

DAY 1 & DAY 2: RESEARCH, DESIGN, SUBMIT a PLAN
OBJECTIVES: 1. Outline your team's glider designs (Fuselage, Wing, Horizontal Stabilizer, and Vertical Stabilizer) on graph paper. 2. Add clear labels and measurements of the designs in 3 views: Top, Side, and Front. 3. Submit your plan to Mr. Pham for approval.

STAGE 2 - BUILDING

DAY 3, DAY 4, DAY 5: BUILD THE GLIDER
OBJECTIVES: 1. Cut out glider designs and trace them on to balsa wood sheets. 2. Measure and divide the fuselage into 5 equal sections. 3. Add the wing on the 2nd section of the fuselage. Stabilizers go on the 5th section. Make sure that you glue the components on STRAIGHT, CENTERED, and SQUARED to the fuselage. THIS IS CRITICAL!!!

STAGE 3 - TESTING & FINALIZING

​STAGE 4 - LAUNCHING
