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 math
On Thursday we were making prototypes of streamline paper planes. We were given instructions from our teacher Mrs Anderson, but she wasn't allowed to talk so she presented on a google slide DLO. The image above Zeba and I were following a video clip to create the perfect paper plane. We found out if we did one mistake we could effect the paper plane. Zeba, June, Evelyn, Zahn, Eric and I worked collaboratively during the activity and we were helping each other out. We were collaborating together to find out sources of information. We found that the best one was to watch youtube videos. Once we created our paper planes, we then went outside to test them. This was really fun as we got to explore think about the way the wind was going. We had our first attempt and the plane kept on turning around. The paper plane kept turning so we found out what June did to her's. June had added weight to hers and this helped our plane to go further and higher.
