Foam Plate Glider You will be building gliders out of foam plates (cheap, relatively strong, lightweight, and easy to cut).
Baseline Test 1: You will have a pattern to construct your glider from to get a baseline measurement from. Test 2: You will modify (add/remove weight, move weight) your glider to affect its performance. Test 3: You will modify (modify size, re-shape) your glider to affect its performance. Test 4: You will design your own glider from simple provided building materials (foam plate, straws, paper) Test 5: You will re-design your built glider to improve its performance
