<b>1. <section begin=req1 /><noinclude></noinclude>Learn and explain the four main forces of flight that affect an aeroplane:
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req1 /></b>

:<b>a. <section begin=req1a /><noinclude></noinclude>Lift (What helps the plane rise?)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req1a /></b>

:<b>b. <section begin=req1b /><noinclude></noinclude>Drag (What slows the plane down?)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req1b /></b>

:<b>c. <section begin=req1c /><noinclude></noinclude>Thrust (What makes the plane move forward?)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req1c /></b>

:<b>d. <section begin=req1d /><noinclude></noinclude>Gravity (What pulls the plane down?)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req1d /></b>

<b>2. <section begin=req2 /><noinclude></noinclude>Identify and describe the key components of an aeroplane and their function:
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req2 /></b>

:<b>a. <section begin=req2a /><noinclude></noinclude>Wings
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req2a /></b>

:<b>b. <section begin=req2b /><noinclude></noinclude>Fuselage (body of the plane)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req2b /></b>

:<b>c. <section begin=req2c /><noinclude></noinclude>Tail & Rudder
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req2c /></b>

:<b>d. <section begin=req2d /><noinclude></noinclude>Elevators & Ailerons (Explain how they affect movement)
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req2d /></b>

<b>3. <section begin=req3 /><noinclude></noinclude>Fold and test at least five different types of paper aeroplanes, such as:
* The Classic Dart (Fast and straight)
* The Glider (Designed for long airtime)
* The Stunt Plane (Performs loops and tricks)
* The Distance Flyer (Optimized for maximum distance)
* Your Own Custom Design

<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req3 /></b>

<section begin=challenge />
<b>4. <section begin=req4 /><noinclude></noinclude>Conduct experiments to test how different factors affect flight:
* Try different types of paper (thin, thick, textured, glossy, etc.)
* Adjust wing shape and folds to see their effects
* Modify the weight distribution (add paperclips or folds to see how it changes flight)
* Record your observations
<section end=challenge />

<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req4 /></b>

<b>5. <section begin=req5 /><noinclude></noinclude>Work in a group to design and test the “Ultimate Paper Aeroplane.” Combine the best elements from your experiments to create a plane that can fly the farthest or stay in the air the longest.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req5 /></b>

<b>6. <section begin=req6 /><noinclude></noinclude>Participate in a Paper Aeroplane Flight Challenge with your group. Compete in one or more of the following:
* Distance Competition: Whose plane flies the farthest?
* Airtime Challenge: Whose plane stays in the air the longest?
* Accuracy Challenge: Who can land their plane closest to a target?

<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req6 /></b>

<b>7. <section begin=req7 /><noinclude></noinclude>Spiritual Lesson – Designed for a Purpose<br>
Just as every paper aeroplane is designed with a purpose—some for speed, some for distance, and some for tricks—God has created each of us with a special purpose. Sometimes, like a paper aeroplane, we may need adjustments and improvements to reach our full potential, but God is always shaping us.<br>
Look up and discuss the following Bible verses:
* Jeremiah 29:11 – God’s plan for our future
* Isaiah 40:31 – Those who trust in the Lord will soar like eagles
* Ephesians 2:10 – We are God’s workmanship, created for good works
* 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Becoming a new creation in Christ
Reflect on these verses:
* How does making paper aeroplanes relate to God’s creative design for us?
* What happens when a plane doesn’t fly well? How does that compare to times when we struggle in life?
* How can small adjustments make a big difference in flight? How does God help us make adjustments in our own lives?
* As a group, pray and thank God for His perfect design and guidance in our lives.
