Kite fun

Kite fun 

Guess what time it is blog time.
On Wednesday I started to make a
kite for school… day 1. I went down the
road to get some toetoe sticks
(cutty grass bush) once I got the toetoe
sticks I asked can I have a rubbish bag “Ok”
yeah.

I started to make the base of my kite it looked
like a cross, it was 90 cm long and 60 cm
across. Then I tided rope to the edge of my
kite and then I attached and measured out
the rubbish bag so it would fit around the kite. 

The test flight didn’t go well I ran too fast and
the worst thing happen it flipped and it
crash-landed and broke a crossbar came
down NO! It’s ok I repaired it and this time I
sellotape all cracks so no air can fill up my
kite. That was fun

Because of the lack of wind I had to improvise
by getting down a fan a humongous fan and
turn it on to full blast mode. I was doing tricks
it was doing backflips. And I decided to add
another string so it is easier to steer and
control ya!

I enjoyed making the kite I enjoyed writing about
this well ill see you later.

Paper Plane Measurement

Paper Plane Measurement 

On Tuesday I started to make my paper plane and my first plane made it 0.3 metres and I only stretched the rubber band  5 cm.  So...

I tested my planes and on the second test it got 3 metres when I stretched the rubber band 10 cm, and so stretched the rubber band to 15 cm and my plane flew  5.5 metres.  Brilliant it worked !!

 I took a little break but we are moving on. so I stretched the rubber band to 20 cm that didn't go well. It landed in the wet grass and it got waterlogged (Heavy with water) but… it went 7.9 metres yeah I waited for 10 mins for it to dry out.

Next! 25 cm this one went well it travelled 9.5 metres,30 cm now that went 11.9 metres. So in the end wait,wait,wait you thought that was the end  i’m just getting started.

 It turns out that there was a second version (another set of measurements to follow I called it trial 2).  These are the measurements and results for trial 2.  

2cm = 0.2

3cm =0.4

4cm =1.2

5cm =1.8

10cm = 2.7

15cm =4.7

I enjoyed this project and

I was suprised how much

fun it was to write about

the two trials.
