Re: Sample Project for "Take Your Kids to Work" Day

[Deborah Ray <debray -at- raycomm -dot- com>]

Another good one is writing instructions for making a paper
airplane. Kids could do instructions individually, or you could
pair them up, have each kids write instructions, then have
each pair trade instructions and try to build an airplane based
on their partner's instructions. 

Good luck!
