|content= Geogebra has been used to produce an animated tutorial of an origami paper aeroplane). Once the plane has been made, experiments with throwing the plane show that it does not fly in a parabolic curve, as a ball would. An interactive geogebra spreadsheet shows how a ball would fall. Another geogebra spreadsheet demonstrates the flight trajectory of the plane. I have also produced a word document describing very simply, how the plane flies.

|resources= Here are three simple to use GeoGebra activities produced by the students which can be used to both understand flight and further stimulate new students.

The first is an Origami tutorial:
* GeoGebra file:  
*[[file:Origami.ggb]]
[[file:.ggb]]
The second shows parabolas:
 
*[[file:parabola.ggb]]
* Guidance notes (.doc)
The third shows  a plane's flight:
 
*[[file:Plane.ggb]]
This is accompanied by an excellent description:
