Coop

Thursdays continue to be our coop days. Our time shared between gym activities and something a little more focused. This week a friend guided the kids through making their own own foam air planes. They were given a template they could use, many of the kids embellishing with some fancy additions. After their plane was cut out and assembled everyone had a test flight.

Everyone reported back their observations, it was almost unanimous that the planes wouldn't fly. This lead into a discussion on balance and the effect of weights to the flying process. On the table were choices of clips of all sizes and weights. Through trial and error the kids saw the effect of too little and too much weight. The kids had a great time creating and even more flying the planes.
