We finished Session 2 with the wonderful Egg Drop Experiment, and learning about aerodynamics with paper airplanes. Pictures will be coming soon. (Mrs. Owen's personal computer is having some issues at the moment, so as soon as we get that straightened out, the pictures will be posted.)
We are now in the final S.T.E.M. Club Session: Session 3! We have a few new folks joining us, and some very familiar faces with us again this time!
We have met three times, so far. The first meeting, we cleaned our mealworm/beetle habitats, and explored their life cycle some more. Our second meeting, we planted some herbs in our garden in back of the school. We are looking forward to watching these grow! Last week, we extended our paper plane activity by engineering our own paper airplane designs! We worked together in groups to see whose planes could go the furtherest. We found the way you throw the plane (or the force you apply to it) has a big affect on how far the plane will fly, too! (Not just the design!)
Check out this video we watched before we put our engineering minds to work. It's the new world record paper plane!
