Take one brilliant middle-school science teacher with a love of hang-gliding. Add a classroom of typical teenagers, a phone book, a stack of printer paper, and a pair of scissors. Watch something truly magical take place, as a fleet of miniature planes takes to the air on gossamer wings. Who wants to work when there are origami planes to fly?

This is absolutely wonderful and a genius teacher.
Heather– What a great teacher. I really thank you for sending this to us. I always enjoy your emails
Hi Rosie and Sallie:
Thanks for joining me here! I am just gob-smacked by this science teacher, who makes the physics of hang-gliding so concrete and so much fun.
