INCREDIBLE HOOP GLIDERS - PART 2
We experimented with our 'Incredible Hoop Gliders' again today. We were inspired by Marley who made his own Hoop Glider at home using a large straw. This made the glider fly even better!
Mrs McCulley brought some large milkshake straws and we used these to make new gliders. We had lots of fun flying them outside.
We had a boys race and a girls race to see who's glider flew the furtherest.
Tarrah and Sam were our champions!
We compared our old gliders from last week (with the small straws) to our new gliders (with the big straws). The gliders with the big straws flew much better, just as Marley had told us.
Meg posed a very good question... "What would happen if we had three hoops on the glider?" We tested this out. The glider worked well and moved in a spiral direction.
Leo also posed a very good question... "What would happen if we only used two hoops?" We tested this out too and found that the glider did not fly well at all. It just went a short distance before it dropped to the ground.
Just for fun we flew our new and improved 'Incredible Hoop Gliders' off the deck. Watch them fly...
What a fantastic science session!

FIGURE ME OUT!
During maths time this week, we have been making awesome 'Figure Me Out!' posters. The posters have lots of information about us but you have to work out the answers of the maths equations first! They are now hanging in our classroom. Please come in and check them out!
