We then had to get into a group of eight and throw our planes, we then had to throw our planes and measure how far they flew and record the measurements on a google sheet.

A person says a sentence with a specific word, when that word is said in the sentence you have to grab the persons hand with your left hand while also lifting your right hand without getting caught.

The next game was a patience test, the test was called pass it on. There are two teams in lines, one person would squeeze both shoulders of the people at the back of the line, they then had to pass the squeeze on until they reached the person in front. The person in front has to run to the cone before the other person does.

She told us that there was a food waste problem and that the food waste should be given to those who are in need of food. She also said that 1.3 billion food are wasted and sent to landfill, that food then decays and produces methane gas, methane gas starts climate change.

Origami Airplane Wingspans

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wingspan and area 

on lift.

For term 4 we are studying aerodynamics. We learnt what variables are as well as 

independent and dependent variables. 

Our task this week was to create 12 paper/origami planes focusing on one certain design 

and studying each aspect of the design and which part of the paper planes are important 

and how they affect launch and flight.

A variable is a feature of an object or thing that can change between multiple types of 

the object/item. An independent variable is unchanged by other variables or will not be 

changed by other aspects or assets of a variable. A dependent variable is depends on 

another factor in order to be changed.

Our group chose to make the blunt tip plane, after we made the plane we made a google drawing showing three parts of the origami airplane and their functions. We also had to figure out the fuselage length, the wing span and the wing area. I learnt by measuring the wing span, the wing area and the fuselage length.
