Hydraulics & Air Power · Motion, Gravity & Momentum · Engineering & Mechanisms
Build a hydraulic launcher, fold paper planes from the included sheets, and send them flying. Change the plane's shape or the launch angle and watch what happens next.
Build-together tips for grown-ups
- Let your builder lead: they read the next step, you hand over the pieces.
- Along the way, ask: "Does a different fold make your plane fly farther? Let's test two."
- If a piece won't sit right, that's normal. Pause, compare with the picture and try again together.
