Hoop Gliders: Day 2
by Kathryn Berger
Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together to create the hoop glider and complete flight trials making iterations as needed to meet the success criteria. This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 4. Links to view all lessons and helpful resources are included!
