The British Model Flying Association (BMFA) has a range of kits of gliders and rubber powered planes and a simple helicopter for youngsters to build and fly. They are available inexpensively and singly or in bulk packs for groups. The Teachers' Pack includes some samples and curriculum linking work, and is excellent value. Their education section website has details and prices at http://www.bmfa.org/education/index.html

Two versions of the Build-a-Plane chuck gliders are also available to download as an A4 document for printing out on card. You just need scissors, some Blu-tak and a glue stick to build. These have been adapted from the Aero-Glide, one the BMFA designs, and glide very well. You can explore the effects of the rudder, ailerons and elevator on how a plane flies. Full instructions are printed on the picture.
