the glider
the second glider











) THE CHALLANGE is to make our glider fly amd at the beggining we thought it could be easy but it wasnt at the beggining we made one gliders but it broke so we were left without any materials so we ended up with a biggier challange of using limited resources to make another glider that could work.
2) Brainstorm solutions: making a light glider that doesnt weight to much.
-What are the rules of brainstorming? well their are not really rules the rules could be to have a actual glider for when we try than and to try your best not just make a glider that we didnt really like.
-List your ideas:1)one of my ideas was to make a glider that was small with long winds
2)my second idea was to make a long glider with the winds a bit bend because like that it will get enough air inside the winds for it to fly and hopefully it will be able to stay in the air long.
3)my thrid idea was to make a glider with a tail and with a head and with a long center part.and it could be made of normal printer paper but we could still use the wood that we were given.we could use the paper that they gave us.
4)but we end it up making another brain storm after our first glider broke.

a glider shape like a cross and insted of wood we could use paper roll up into pieces of wood
a glider shape like a circle and we could use pencils like woo
-Sketch at least two of them

3) Specify:
-Criteria
-Constraints (be specific about materials available)
one of the constraints was to make it fly
another is that we didnt have enough materials we were only given paper and tinny pieces of wood that were really easy to brake specially while trying to work with than and that was one of the hardest thing that we face because pieces could just end up breaking.
the biggest constrain that we had was that our first glider broke and we were left without any materials and we had to make something work in just one day. but at the end of the day paper sticks made our glider work and fly atlist for a bit.
one constraint that we had was that it was hard to come up with ideas speacially if we didnt seen to agree in my team.
another constrain was that the glue didnt want to glue.
we should had broke our fisrt glidder it was hard to make a second one
the chart was helpful because it help us decide what to improve in our glidder specially when at the beginning it only seem to go backward



the first glader it broke in a windy day







4)develop solution
the chart






the cab

the first glider









the newwwwwwwwwwww glider is awsome .. the second glider it didnt use alot of materials but it work maybe it didnt fly as much as we wanted but we put our time and afford to provide the best work we could with the lil material that we have we made it happen with paper.

  1. Glad to hear your redesign works so much better. Of the differences between the two, what do you atribute the greatest improvements to?

    You and Leti did a good job with your 4 Quadrant Feedback chart. Can you improve the quality of the image or list the feedback out so it's legible?

    Good job.
