Welcome to
"The Wright Stuff" online project.
This is a
ONE-DAY project to take place on December 17th which is the
100th Anniversay of the Wright Bros. Flyer Flight!
Please
click here
for the directions your students will be using for the plane.
The site is "The
Simple Dart Airplane" and it is a simple pattern
and usable with all ages!!
PLEASE use this airplane design ONLY!!
Students
will be flying their airplanes TWICE and recording their longest
flight on the provided template.
You will need some sort of measuring tool to record their flights.
(I suggest sticky notes and measuring tapes!)
Teachers
will submit the results from the TWO longest
flights only. (we are NOT doing the top boy and
top girl) Flight distances need to be in FEET and INCHES
and please round to the nearest inch.
(However, I encourage you to do activities
with your students to gather averages, means, etc)
Results will
be posted in graphical form to show the average of all flights
submitted. We will also be posting the top flights per grade.
Please utilize
the worksheets and activities which are provided to make this
a day your students will remember!! If you have any ideas you
would like to contribute, please email
them to me. You will be given FULL credit!
You are invited
to send in 3 photos (250x200dpi -- gif
format) which will be added to our PhotoAlbum!
If you have
any questions, please email me right away!
