Engineer's Week: 2nd class-Mr McGuire

 

Engineers week 6th-10th March 

 As part of Engineer’s Week, we conducted a study on parachutes in 2nd class. The children learned basic facts about aerodynamics. Then in groups, they designed a parachute that would hold a small action figure in air for a short period.

As part of the task, children learned to redesign (if required) elements of their parachute. Overall, the children really enjoyed this ‘hands-on’ and exciting activity. (Mr McGuire).
