Paper Airplane Construction Project          Name
                                                  -------------------------

1)  Construct a paper airplane.  You may use more than one sheet of paper 
    if you wish.  Paper may be cut, torn and/or folded.  You may use any 
    other materials at your disposal to hold your airplane together (tape, 
    staples, glue, paper clips, etc.)

2a) Describe your airplane and its construction: 
                                                 --------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2b) If this is not the first airplane which you have submitted, describe 
    what is different about your new airplane:
                                               ----------------------------
