Kites and Sports Day

Wednesday, January 25, 2017

During this unit about forces, we explored how gravity and wind work together to push kites through the air as we pull them.

We also experimented with different materials and compared how they effected the flights.

Some of our hypotheses were correct:  the lighter the kite, the better it will fly.

Other’s predicted that kites need to be heavy and strong to work best, and they tested their theories.

The results varied, but we all agreed it was the perfect windy day for kites! 🙂

Sports Day Activities!
