Paper planes have stood the test of time for quick and easy fun! Wondering whether they will soar high over the trees or nose dive at our feet is the million dollar question! With our Museum at Home guide from Scienceworks you can learn not only what makes a good plane fly but how to make three different types - Dart Glider, Suzanne Glider, and a Blunt Nosed Glider!

Be sure to decorate you aircraft and test how far YOURS can go - just don’t let the dog run away with them!
