Today we had to analyze our measurements for our paper planes. Since we were put into groups of 6 or 7 we had to come up with one design using our plane creations. We then tested our planes and Evelyn's one was the fastest. After we had the competition. Zahn was the fastest thrower. Thomas was the winner since his plane went to furthest to 14.1. Our learning intention was to design and make a paper plane that will fly the furthest.

Paper Plane - Inquiry
On Thursday we were making prototypes of streamline paper planes. We were given instruction by our teacher, Mrs. Anderson but she wasn't allowed to talk. On the image above Zahra and I were following a video carefully to create the perfect paper plane. We found out that if we had one mistake this would effect the paper plane. Our group collaborated to find our sources of information. We found that the best one was to watch videos. Once we had created our paper plane we went outside to test them out. This was really fun as we got to explore and think about the way the wind was going and how to throw it properly. When we had our first attempt the plane kept turning we found out what June had done to her plane to make it go straight. June had added weight and this helped our plane go further.
