This week in science we learned about STEAM ; Science Technology Engineering Art\u00a0and 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\u00a0it went down whilst spinning \u00a0like the rotor blades of a helicopter. As fun as this\u00a0was it certainly took some time patience and effort.\u00a0You may think paper is just paper but we found different types of paper work differently. Mrs Maxwell showed us her\u00a0paper helicopter and\u00a0the whole class thought to make it smaller because Mrs Maxwell was perfect and\u00a0was 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\u00a0for future reference that changing\u00a0something even the slightest\u00a0bit can make a huge\u00a0difference. I loved this lesson. I definitely hope to be doing more things just like this.<\/p>\n
