Great Glider Share, by Mrs Kisby
Date: 9th Jun 2023 @ 3:51pm
Today we celebrated the entries for year 3 and 4 for the Great Science Share. It has been fantastic to talk to all of the children and to share what materials they chose, why they chose these to use them as well as discussing their results. At playtime we launched all the gliders at the same time to see the results for ourselves. The children all talked about the factors that could impact on the flight of the gliders - the wind - and then we used this as a quick investigation by flying our gliders against the wind and with the wind. We concluded that the the wind helped the gliders fly further as it gave them and extra lift so they flew further. Well done to everyone that entered. We look forward to sharing these on the Great Science Share website on June 13th.
