Recently 5th Graders used the power of the wind (fan) to conduct several tests. Students worked with partners to design and create a wind-powered vehicle. The vehicles came in all shapes and sizes. Many variables were tested and tested again to see how minor adjustments increased or decreased the travel distance. Some variables included: paper thickness, tire circumference, car design, sail design, and wheel thickness. The Scientific Model was used for testing purposes and data was collected on the trials.
Good work 5th Graders!
