Fiona here from the SLJ team. Great work creating a glider out of cardboard then making a cool video so we can see how it glides! What inspired your glider design? Did you research online for ideas then draw your plan on paper first?
Your video reminded me of the great kids movie 'Paper Planes'. Have you seen it? It is all about this little boy that travels overseas for the international paper plane competition.
I agree with your observation that perhaps your glider didn't fly too far because the wings were a bit too big for the size of the body. This is awesome learning and now you know what to change and try out next time!
Kia ora Molly,

Keep up the fantastic blogging, Molly!

Kia ora Molly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply and for letting me know how you approached your glider making.
I do reccomend the movie Paper Planes. If you have Netflix, it is on there. If you get the chance to watch it, let me know if you enjoy it!
