- A mural of the flight allows students to view a wide range of flight options in one place. Use a piece of butcher paper as a background, and allowing children to exchange ideas on how to paint. For example, they do not want it is the sky night or day? Are there any clouds? Are the roofs of houses along the bottom?
- Making paper airplanes is the classic art project for a unit on aviation--and for good reason. They are simple, fun and endlessly creative, and they provide great fodder for a discussion about efficient flight. Give students scissors and paper (plus tape, if you want), and let them explore their own designs. Let them fly each one to determine which goes farthest, highest or straightest. To expand the unit, introduce suggestions from a website, such as the UK site Kites, or use the book "Gliding Flight" by John M. Collins. The instructions in this book are very clear, and the planes fly amazingly well.
