Airforce one the plane game


Today we were working on developing our airplanes for having a long flight time. As we tested our airplanes we realized that weight plays and important role. We established that the more wing span we have the longer the flight time. We will test our final planes tomorrow and we are trying to beat the 7th graders who had a flight time of 10seconds.

Airplans, airplanes, and paper airplanes


Today we made paper airplanes. We had to go through a process of designing them, and developing them. Some of us had to learn to make paper airplanes before we could begin designing. Some of the airplanes were in the air for a long time, but some were not in the air at all. We had to change our ideas to make them better. It was fun. We think we are going to do really well with this project.

Bridges & Airplanes


Today we learned:
-You can make a bridge out of little materials
-How to follow directions
-Sometimes you can think creatively and become a big success with only what you have got.
-Prototypes are hard to make
-We also can define span

Tomorrow we will build our bridges out of index cards.

Paper Airplane Contest with 6B


Today in class we learned how to make paper airplanes that would stay in the air for a long time. It was easy because we had to fold paper, and attach a paper clip and tape. It was hard because we had to keep it in the air for the longest amount of time. We will test them tomorrow.

Airplanes 6A


Is not easy to make airplanes. Sometimes they nose dive to the ground, and sometimes they make a perfect landing. Other times they fly out the window. Its really fun to make them though they are difficult to make. We have a competition to see who will have the most air time with their paper airplane.
