Measuring Flight Distances
Year 5 Science Estimating and Measuring with Paper Planes
Learning Objectives
WALT: Estimate and measure flight distances using metres and centimetres WALT: Identify angle types on a paper plane We will use paper planes for hands-on learning We will practice accurate measurement skills
Success Criteria
I can estimate a flight distance before measuring I can measure the actual distance in metres and centimetres I can name an angle as acute, right, or obtuse I can record my results clearly and accurately
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Which unit is best for measuring long distances? a) millimetres b) metres c) kilometres 2. An acute angle is: a) exactly 90° b) less than 90° c) more than 90° 3. What tool measures distance accurately? a) ruler b) clock c) calculator 4. A right angle measures: a) 45° b) 90° c) 180°
Practical Recording Tasks
Task 5: Make your paper plane and estimate flight distance Task 6: Fly your plane and measure actual distance Task 7: Record measurements in metres and centimetres Task 8: Identify angles on your plane (acute/right/obtuse) Task 9: Complete your results table clearly
Summary and Reflection
What did we learn about estimating distances? How accurate were your estimates compared to measurements? Which angles did you find on your paper plane? What measurement skills will you use next time?
