This week our year three and four STEM Club members enjoyed investigating aerodynamics. They had the opportunity to make a hoop glider, a traditional glider and a helicopter spinner. They went into the hall to investigate which flew the best. With the helicopter spinners, they were also tasked with investigating what happened if more weight (in the form of paper clips) was added to the spinner. Would it spin faster or slower? Would it spin at all? Would it reach the ground quicker? This was their favourite investigation of the session with a mad scramble to see how many paperclips they could actually add to one spinner! It was great to see them testing out their predictions.
Up up and away!
