Lifeboats, fliers, and a play

Last week, students completed two more variables activities called fliers and lifeboats. We found out that the larger a capacity there is, more passengers can fit on the boat.

 

Measuring capacity







Testing how many "passengers" can fit into the lifeboat.



Also, students found out that the more mass you add to the flier, you will have to add more winds to get it across the area of flight.  (It is hard to see, but they are flying their fliers across  a fishing line.)
