We managed to think of a idea that was what we could make in the time we had. Even though our first idea didn't work, we thought of a new idea that we are happy with.
The kite didn't fly because it wasn't straight/supported/balanced so we had to put more string on it,yet it still wouldn't work so we tried making three more kites.
my kite didnt work because our box kite couldnt get the air through the sides and the wind pushed it down and so we had to cut the sides of the plastic to make it work.
We were going to make a fish kite, but we didn't have anything to make a circle out of. So we had to change the kite into something else. We made our kite a completely different shape because that way we had a better idea of what to make and how to make it. Our new model is going to be a kite that is made with all the supplies that we have access to.
the habbit of mind we have used the most is THINKING ABOUT THKNKING because we had to think about how we are going to make it. Our next habbit of mind we are hoping to use is make it right because it needs to be symetrical to fly up up and away. - Lily and Amber
Jada and me have used Listen,stop and think,have a go,thinking about thinking,thinking flexibly,work with ohters and questions. We need to use past knowledge,creating and innovating, persistence make it right.
Good thinking Carlos, a tail adds weight to a kite and helps stabilise it in the air. You might experiment with the length and weight of the tail to find what works best. Please remember to proofread your comments.
What went well in your first kite design/building session?
ReplyDeleteWe tried different ways of making the kite and we tried adjusting the places where the string was.
DeleteHaving all the materials we need and building a kite that worked
Deleteputting the materials and everything together went really well
DeleteI had made 2 kites out of different materials and made both and then chose the best one to use.
Deletegetting further into my design.

DeleteGood to see that you are prototyping and modifying your designs Julia and Ashley.
DeleteWe were focused and on task and we never gave up.
DeleteDescribe one challenge you encountered in your first kite design/building session and explain how you overcame it.

Deleteit didn't work because of it shape and where it was shapes
DeleteGreat detail Julia, Myro, and Ashley! Sounds like you are thinking flexibly about how to solve these problems.
DeleteWhich habit of mind have you used most in your kite design/building so far?
ReplyDeleteWhich habit of mind might you need most in your next session and why?
Reuben "I will need to use lots of persistence."
DeleteBen "I have used lots of past knowledge and i will need to use Make it right to be better."

Deletethe habits of mind me and William used are stop and think, persistence

James and I used accuracy, precision, thinking flexibly and persistence. Make it right
DeleteWhat is your next step towards greater success in our kite design/building challenge?
ReplyDeleteMaking all the kite stable and making it look better and what what type of material will work and have tails to make it fly better for diamond kites.
Deletecutting off the parts of the stick which is to long and making a triangle hole
Deleteadding on to our kite that failed
Deleteworking better with people and asking for help if I need it.
Deletemaking it more stable
DeleteThere are some very specific next steps here everyone, well done!
Deletemy diamond kite didnt work at first but then i put on a tail and it worked alot better but i still need to make it better and more stabilized
