The Building of an Airplane (with a Little Help from Friends).
Morehouse, Pam
Educational Leadership, v52 n8 p56-57 May 1995
The students in a K-1 class at a Washington elementary school built a mock four-seater airplane with some community assistance. They hired a building contractor (promising him red wriggler worms from the class compost bin) to help design the plane, obtained a Boeing certificate for $500 worth of spare parts, and attended an air show as exhibitors.
