Today students created a sail design that provided the optimal way of capturing two wind variables. Working with four Lego wheels, two note cards, a meter of tape, a paper clip, a balloon and a straw, students made their own Sail Car.
First students studied sail design using a V.T.S. strategy and reading an article using AVID Critical Reading Skills. Next, students created their Sail Car and modified the sail design to capture the most wind. We used two wind instruments to test our design: a blown up balloon and a straw. Students collected data, modified, and reflected on what they learned today.
Well done Champion Students!
