Flying Devices

 

We began our day with our inquiry into flight. Students wrote the test on Bernoulli’s Principle Once the test was done, students began an inquiry into building a flying devices that could fly at least 5 m, do tricks such as loops and turns, and land next to a target. They were provided with building materials, time to build, and time to test. They reflected on what their flying device was best at and placed the device at that station. Students then visited each station to observe what all the flying devices at each station had in common. This provided a clue on why the planes were able to fly in a way to meet the requirements. Students then reflected on how they would build their planes differently.

 

Remaining class time was used to work on science fair. Students could go out to first recess if they had completed their projects in entirety. Four students have now completed the whole science fair project.  

The class continued working on their Polar Expressions short story submission as per the criteria discussed last week. One student completed their draft and found someone to complete a peer review for him.

Grade 6s attended gym, French and math today.

Curling trip permission and waiver forms are now past due.
