PopGlider

What it is: An excellent little plane made out of heavy duty corrugated card that assembles without tools (glue required) to give a stable flying glider with adjustable wings and tail. It will take the punishment of an excited class and can be drawn and painted. Comes with extensive online teaching notes and classroom resources. Requires 3x 1p pieces as counterweight per plane. W 287mm, L 287mm.

Who is it for: Teachers and community workers after a simple, low cost way to introduce flight and forces and aerodynamics to children, and those wishing to investigate flight in more depth as a practical project. Information on linking to the NC is included in the free online teachers guide.
