1. 6th Grade – Tech Ed Loop Glider Design Challenge
Design, build, and test loop gliders
Aerospace Unit

2. Loop Glider Design Challenge
Design, build, and test 2 loop gliders
Record test flight distances in feet
Convert feet to inches
Calculate total and average distance flown for both planes
Complete a graph showing technical data for both planes

3. Convert Feet to Inches Multiply the distance in feet by 12”.
There are 12” in a foot.

4. Find the Total The word “total” means to ADD.
Add up all of the distances flown and record it in the table under “total”.

5. Find the Average
Divide the total by the number of test flights you made.
That will be the average distance flown.
Use the average to compare each loop glider.
The glider with the greater average performed the best.
