LITTLE PLANE ENGINEERS

Our first unit in Science in Engineering and Technology. So this week we took it upon ourselves to understand how engineers build things and look at three major characteristics:  1. Criteria  2. Constraints  3. Making Improvements.  So, after our discussion on Monday, we took the rest of the week to "engineer" paper airplanes.  First, this is the process we took: 1. Make the plane  2. We examined the things that make it fly. 3. Test trials outside. And we had some wind to factor in. 4. Analyze the first trials  5. Make ONE improvement on the plane. 6. Test the improvements/results. 

And THEY did a phenomenal job! Science looks to be REALLY FUN this year!
