This is the final lab during which I took pictures. It has no actual name, but the premise is simple: Design an object that will fly, and build it using craft sticks and hot glue. There are many flying toys, from Frisbees to boomerangs. During this lab, the students found out that objects of many designs can be thrown, but not all will fly!!!!!

Section 8-2 works intently on constructing their models.

Jordan, Donavon, and Mark were quite interested to see if their ideas would fly.

Claire watches her fly (onto the roof, I think) as Jason tries a different technique: throwing it up. Mark is looking suspicious, as usual.

Caleb retrieves his as Ben launches one.

 

 

Eric_W.jpg (74102 bytes)

Eric's tends to fly a tad low.

 

 

Gina.jpg (105452 bytes)

Gina enjoyed testing hers a lot, but it broke. So, she gladly repairs it! 

 

8-3_2.jpg (152668 bytes)

Val, Ashley, and Kayla discuss some ideas as they share a glue gun.

 

 

Joe_B.jpg (147849 bytes)

Joe launches his model.

 

 

8-3_3.jpg (142392 bytes)

Such cooperation is rarely seen this late in the school year! Impressive!

 

Nate.jpg (129380 bytes)

Nate tests his as people in the background mill about in confusion....

 

Katie_Kim.jpg (169345 bytes)

Kim watches hers climb, and Katie gets ready to fire hers right at me!

 

Kyle.jpg (80449 bytes)

Kyle's design gains height quickly!

 

Austin_Treed.jpg (376497 bytes)

Some people just didn't get the concept of throwing away from the trees. Luckily, Austin is willing to lend a hand.

 

 

Mark_K.jpg (71103 bytes)

Mark seems happy with his model.

 

Matt.jpg (67444 bytes)

Matt's design didn't gain much height (no pun intended), but it sure had the speed!!!!

 

8-3_4.jpg (147821 bytes)

Finished with her model, Kim waits patiently for others to head out for the test flights.

 

Steph_Tie_Shoe.jpg (146874 bytes)

Some people just give that little extra. Here, Joe runs to retrieve his model! Stephanie gave so much, her shoe came untied! Of course, she then had no energy left to tie it herself! Thank goodness for Jamie!
