A paper airplane STEM challenge is a terrific way to help teach your kids about science, technology, engineering and math, all while building their brains and making connections through problem solving.
This week we studied paper airplanes. All you need to make this paper airplane model called a dart is a regular piece of paper or any rectangular piece of paper. If you are doing a challenge afterward, you will want all the paper pieces for each child to be the same size.

Make a paper airplane that can carry a cargo and glide more than ten feet (not be hurled, but actually glide). The cargo we decided on was money-coins. And the winner is the kiddo who could fly the most money. Our winner flew a plane with $5.60! Second place winner came in with nearly $3.00 of coins!
Well, there are a variety of ways. There are a number of retailers and also some manufacturers who make these e-books available on Web sites, and they can then be downloaded, either through the Web site or in some cases through a telephone modem.
In most cases, it's now part of your library. I suppose if you want to trash it, you can do that and get rid of it very easily, but in general, people are building up digital libraries just the way they have accumulated print libraries, only it takes up a lot less space. That's the good news. And some manufacturers, distributors of electronic books, actually keep the books on their server, and they're available for download whenever you want, but they reside still on that server, so that there's no need for you to keep the book, tying up your own memory. You can, in effect, give it back to the server, and then when you want it again, download it again.
Well, you struggle with all of it, Terry. You struggle with the technology part of it, downloading it and making sure that you've got the book that you want, and you struggle with the reader. It's still not as easy as throwing a book into your beach bag and there it is. So, it takes a little getting used to and a little technological knowledge, and a little bit of willingness to try a format that you've never tried before and you're not totally comfortable with.
Well, at this point the readers are certainly younger, or they are professionals who feel very conversant with hand-held computers or laptop computers. Right now we're in the early adopter phase, where for the most part, people are downloading books just to see what it's like, to get the hang of it, and to see whether or not they like it. We certainly have not, at this point, managed to infiltrate into the broader society the way we have with print books.
I do. I do. And I will be honest, I struggle with it. I'm not yet there to the point where I will read, do most of my reading onscreen. But I'm older, and I'm a sort of dyed-in-the-wool print kind of guy, so, to some extent, there's a little bit of "do as I say, not as I do" in this world for me. But I see it coming, and I certainly think that younger readers are enjoying these books.
When I first started in the book business in the early '70s, the large bookstores then had somewhere between 20,000 to 30,000 titles. Today a super store has 150,000 to 200,000 titles. And yet, people are now ordering through databases over 2 million titles a year. So the need to have a large database, fully searchable and with the ability to download titles, I think makes a lot of sense from a consumer point of view.
Yes, yes. This is, of course, a major argument and a long discussion in itself. We do encrypt them, but we have to be careful that the encryption isn't so complex that the readers can't download the books at all. So that there's no question that a skilled hacker, who really wants to work at it, can probably steal books.
But chapters may be available free, tables of contents may be available free, introductory material may be available free, so that our readers can get accustomed to downloading books, and we can entice them by showing them and giving them the kind of information that they need to make an intelligent buying decision.
There's a little chicken and egg going on here. Most people are not attracted to e-books yet because there's not significant distribution of the readers, and there are simply not enough titles available for downloading.
