✈️ “The Gower Glider Challenge – Mr G vs Mr D!”
“Mr G and Mr D are both convinced they can design the
perfect glider to soar across the skies of the Gower!
But there’s a twist… they can only use materials they’ve found in the classroom or recycled at home!
Inspired by the wide open cliffs of Rhossili and the strong sea winds of Llangennith, they need your help to investigate:
Which material makes the best paper aeroplane to fly furthest across the Gower coast?
It’s time to use your science skills to test, observe, measure and decide:
Can your plane glide over the Three Cliffs? Or nosedive into the sand like a seagull with soggy wings?”
L.O To investigate how things can be changed or adapted to help them work better.
L.O To investigate how different materials or features affect how well something works.
L.O To investigate how changing a design over time can lead to better performance.
