For awhile, we have been trying to make this particular airplane and it's proven to be quite a challenge to fly it due to many factors. You can have a go at making it as well. Here's the video:

Here is an amazing person which our inspiration comes from, enjoy!

Guiding questions (Week 4)
We have come up with some guiding questions to help us in our experiment in finding some airplanes that can do acrobatics and factors that can help.
This questions are now currently being considered and the experiment will be carried out soon.

Here are the reflections for lesson 4:
Denzel Low: I feel that IPW has really pushed me in my thinking and helped me think out of the box. We have covered a lot of things so far about paper airplanes and the many acrobatic feats they can do. What I think we should do next is to improve on it and customise out works such that they are pleasing to the eye but yet maintain the amazing way they fly.
Nicholas Chong: This lesson I learnt that how improving our guiding question will improve our research and therefore improve our final product. Making a plane is not easy, with many turns and folds. However, if we put our heart and soul into it, we will be able to do it.
Dong Wen Hao: We had a great time trying to come up with guiding questions in search for the ultimate airplane that can do stunts and acrobatics.
Dreo Tan: I feel that the lesson are very interesting and that I learned a lot of things when we did the project. Besides learning how to fold the plane, I learnt teamwork.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Now you need to collect ALL of your materials. Materials to gather: -1 sheet of A4 paper
Step 2: Begin Folding
Now to begin folding. You start by folding your paper in half lengthwise. Then unfold so you have a crease.
Step 3: Keep Folding
Now fold both top corners in to the center crease.
Step 4: More Folding
Next you need to fold the top point down so there is about one centimeter from the bottom of the point to the new fold. It should look like an envelope!
Step 5: Even More Folding
Fold the top corners down so they touch the middle crease. Do not line them up against it. Only the top corners should touch the centre.
Step 6: Some More of That Folding Stuff
Here is an easy step. Just fold that little triangle near the bottom up.
Step 7: Getting Closer
Fold the left and right side so they meet at the center crease.
Step 8: Apple Pie! <--(just wanted to spice things up a bit...yummm)
Now you fold these back out about a centimeter in from the previous folds.
Step 9: Almost There!!!
Now fold these wings in so they look like wings. They need to line up along the center crease on the top portion.
Step 10: Last Fold!!!
Fold the wings back at the center crease and lift them up so it can fly. It shouild look like an airplane now!
Here is a video we found of youtube that shows how it flies:
BOOMERANG PLANE
See! Even a young boy can do it! So can we!

Nicholas Chong: Throughout this lesson, i have learnt how to set guidelines for my project and how each team member can get his ideas heard. This is a new skill that i have learnt today not only as the group leader, but also as a part of a team. This lesson’s worksheet also challenges us to think and use all our creative juices.
Denzel Low: I have learned that I must find out information from my team members when I'm away as there are always lots of important information during lessons on IPW. I also learned that this project can be very interesting as well as time consuming, but as long as I work hard, the results will be worth it.
Dong Wen Hao: I have learnt that guidelines are very important for a project as they steer us in the right direction and help us carry out experiments more efficiently. I also learn that sounding out my ideas not only help the team, but also help me to get more insight into the project.
Dreo Tan: I learnt that the lesson worksheets uploaded help us a lot in terms of guiding the team and pressing us on to learn even more about our particular topic. I look forward to working with my team mates and carrying out the actual experiments.

Here are the reflections for lesson 1:
Nicholas Chong: Throughout this lesson, i have learnt how to organize tasks my team members are in charge of, and how to set mottos etc. This is an awe inspiring experience to see how efficient work can be done, just by splitting the tasks up. This skill is useful to even those of management levels, to finish work faster.
Denzel Low: N/A (Away at Sec 1 orientation camp.)
Dong Wen Hao: I have learnt that IPW can be very interesting just from this first lesson. I hope that subsequent lessons will be very exciting with lots of things to do.
Dreo Tan: I think that working as a team is very important for this project and this first lessons helps us to establish that relationship with each other as team mates. I hope that in the near future, we can create some exciting products and make breakthrough innovations and discoveries.
