What We Did: Monday, 4 JAN - By F.F.
So in the morning we started our new unit (How the world works) We were working on making paper airplanes for a start.We were in a group of people 3 and we started making small posters. On each posters it stood 1m,2m,3m,4m,5m,6m,7m,8m,9m and 10m.so you need 10 posters. You also need a meter stick so you can measure 1m between each poster. The posters are going to lined up on a straight line.
We have also been using spreadsheets to be able to count how far the plane can go.
Steps how to use spreadsheets:
Example:
3+3+12=18
18/3=6 so the average of 3,3,12 is 6
We have also been using spreadsheets to be able to count how far the plane can go.
Steps how to use spreadsheets:
- Write design Number in 1A
- Write design Detail in 1B THAT MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE OR TELL WHAT AND HOW YOU MADE YOUR PLANE
- Write Trial1 on 1C, Trail2 on 1D…… And continue doing that until you come to Trial5
- On those Trial ones under it you write how far your plane flew.
Example:
3+3+12=18
18/3=6 so the average of 3,3,12 is 6
