This Lesson

Design, construct, and test a small kite.

Name_photo "Kiteling".

This project may be designed from materials available, but the teacher will supply tissue paper, newspaper and the like.

After students test their contraptions, they will need to know the descent time for ten and surface area of the device. They will record the weight, area and descent time in their DailyLog.

Finally, take a digital image of the aircraft, name it "Kiteling" and save it in your folder.
