Everyone knows 5Th grade camp is only this Monday!! :D I think all the 5Th graders are looking forward to it! We are going to learn so much more about nature!I hope we'll get to roast marshmallows(probably not) cause it would be so cool if we did... Some classes are getting split up. I hope I get to stay on the same side as my bunk buddy. I think I'm really looking forward to Hiking in the woods. Hope to see you there!!

Fosss Plane experiment

As you you see here Breanna and Trevor are fixing their foss plane for our science class experiment. To make it we took 2 popscile sticks and sand papers them so the sides were diagnal. After that they did that was done we took to big straws and hole punched one end of each of them.We needed to put them both between the 2 Popsicle sticks so we squished the ends of the straws and stapled them after they were between the 2 sticks. so the plane could stay up when we tested the experiment we put a smaller clear straw threw the 2 holes of the bigger straws.
so we could add the rubber band on the plane so it could move we put a hook in the front of the stick and a plastic tube in the back so it could stay on. after we added the rubber band we took the red propeller and put it on the hook also. The Foss plane wasn't like a real plane that could just fly in the air on its own. it needed to be on a string to go back in fourth in one area. That's exact what the clear straw was for, to hold it up.
The plane moved when u winded the propeller.
