The Wonder Project - Final Test Flights

 Hi Bloggers,

Today we did our final test flights. When the morning tea bell rang my class quickly fixed our rockets. Then we went to room 8 and we started giving gifts to Colm. Colm had his last lesson with us today so we made him a card. Room 8 made a video for him. The video had kids saying thank you and how awesome it was for him to teach us. Neha from room 8 said a little speech on behalf of the senior school. (Year 4, 5 and 6 people) Once we went through some of the things that we needed to know. 

Room 6 then went to Keith Hay Park followed by room 9 and 8. Team Wonder went first and we had decided to put 200ml of water and 50psi. All of the senior classes were gonna do a competition of which rocket can go the furthest. My group one didn't go that far. It only went 25 metres far. In our class the furthest one was 37.6 metres. I don't really know which one went the furthest.

Thanks. Have an awesome day!

The Wonder Project - Session 4 (Aerodynamics)

 HI Bloggers,

This week for session 4 in our Wonder Project, we were looking at aerodynamics. At first we watched a clip and then we were testing our paper planes. Colm, our ambassador, made different types of paper air planes and we were testing them out. We tested them by seeing how far they go. After that we had 5 minutes to make a plane of our choice. I got help because I don't know how to make a plane. But my plane was good. When we got back to class we talked about a prototype and the safety tips. Then we started to make our prototype rockets. For my group we made three fins, one smiley face on the lid, three circles as tiny windows and some designs. We cut the neck of a mountain dew bottle and put it on the bottom of the bottle. Once we were done we just packed and waited until the rest of the groups were done.

Thanks for looking at my blog. Have a great day!
