Making Gliders

In Room 4, we have been doing science experiments about how gliders work by testing them outside and finding out who's glider flies the furthest.  We used straws and  2 strips of coloured paper. 

First, we draw lines for the 2 strips and firmly cut them out. After that, there will be one big strip and one small strip in your hand. They'll both be circular shaped. 

Next, we had to make sure that the two strips are strong enough for the test outside. We then grabbed ourselves straws and used tape to make sure they'll work. 

After practising for a few minutes, Mrs Cutler announced for the test. We all lined up  on one line until we were all quiet and silent. Mrs Cutler blew the whistle that was around her neck. 

After going for a few rounds, we finally had a winner. Everyone was fine with it and went back to class. Mrs Cutler told us to write about what happened in our science booklets.  After that, we went out for refuel while playing around our gliders.
