To make a boomerang, start by drawing 2 long, thin rectangles on a piece of cardboard that are the same size. curve the short ends of the rectangles so they're rounded. next, cut out the rectangles with scissors and place one on top of the other so they intersect and make an "x" shape. then, staple the 2 pieces together where they intersect.. If you have any suggestions for future videos, please leave them in the comments.. If a ninth grader can build a working boomerang so can you. still don't believe me, take a look at the video proof. (note the plans are for a righty, the student in the video is a lefty he reversed the plans so it would work for a lefty.).
Science of boomerangs: how to make & throw the aussie magic throwing a boomerang is part science, part magic and, as eric darnell knows, so is making one.. A wide variety of materials can be used to make a boomerang. wood remains one of the most popular because it produces good results, is relatively inexpensive, and is easy to work. generally preferred is aircraft-grade finnish or baltic birch plywood, which is laminated from very thin layers of wood.. These days, we can make boomerangs in many other curious shapes (figure 2), and some of them fly much better than the traditional ones. in fact, a cross-shaped balsa-wood "boomerang" that looks like a 4-bladed propellor (figure 3) works really well indoors - inside the average-sized living room!.
