Glider Challenge
Before you're ready to "compete" with your glider, you probably want to try your design out and see how it goes. Use this format for collecting notes.
What did you learn from your test flight?We learned that our wings were too big and that the balsa wood frame was not as sturdy as we thought, and not nearly sturdy enough to support the size of the wings.
What are your goals for your glider and how will you adjust your design in order to help it better meet them? We will try to fix the glider, but I'm not sure that it will work seeing as almost the whole frame is broken in several places. Definitely going to be a hard fix if it's even possible.Here is an extensive gallery of pictures that were taken during the construction of our project:

We just tested our gliders today (April 8). Turns out, we actually did pretty well, we got first place in hangtime and third place in distance, which of course is much higher than I had ever imagined for our design, given how much it failed when we tested it last time.

These are some great pictures of your effort. If you keep them in a post seperate from your write up, be sure to reference them in your write up so a reader knows to look for them. Best would be to create a hotlink. The html code for that is easy. See if you can look that up and figure out how to do it.
ReplyDeleteYou have the makings of a good narrative here. Please sequence your photos and add a small bit of insight as far as what's going on!
Thanks
