Three Mondays Left!

Happy rainy Monday, learning friends!

We had a jam-packed two periods this morning at school!

After watching two short videos about Bernoulli's Principle and the four forces of flight, we got to work on this month's design process activity: building an "aéronef" - a simple aircraft - with a straw, different types of paper and tape.

After building and testing our first prototype, we recorded how it flew and decided what changes we could make to help it fly better (further). After making and recording the changes, it was time to test again! Our goal was to create four different prototypes and, in the end, decide which one flew the best and explain why.

We will have one more work period tomorrow morning to finish of the testing and assessing of our flying creations! Wish us luck! :)
