STEAM Science

This week in science we learned about STEAM ; Science Technology Engineering Art and Mathematics. We learned about trial and error as would happen in designing something. We made paper helicopters. After doing that we experimented in the size shape and form. The goal was to keep it in the air for the longest time possible and as gravity took control it went down whilst spinning  like the rotor blades of a helicopter. As fun as this was it certainly took some time patience and effort. You may think paper is just paper but we found different types of paper work differently. Mrs Maxwell showed us her paper helicopter and the whole class thought to make it smaller because Mrs Maxwell was perfect and was very small. However our group tried and tried with small pieces and it did not work out. At this point we had no idea what to do. Thankfully Millie had the idea to make it bigger so that the air created a small force to help it stay up longer as well we reshaped so that it caught air and spun on its way down. I had a great time with my group ; Millie Qaasim and Brodie. I love science and I’m super excited for this term. Although my group didn’t win we definitely made a successful and personalized paper helicopter. The main lesson here was trial and error and I’ve got a great understanding of that now. I know now for future reference that changing something even the slightest bit can make a huge difference. I loved this lesson. I definitely hope to be doing more things just like this.
