Work to be completed after February half term

Hello Year 5,

This term we will be working on a new unit of work in DT called the Glider Challenge.

Project brief: You have been asked to design, build and test a foamboard model glider that can fly the furthest possible distance. You will learn how to create a symmetrical ancient Greek design that can be applied onto the glider to demonstrate creativity. The aim is to create a glider that flies the longest distance which also has the most creative design.

This term we will focus on the designing and theory of how gliders fly. Upon your return back to school we we will make the glider using the material foamboard.

If you do not have access to a printer tasks can be completed on plain or lined paper.

Stretch and Challenge:

Have a go at further extending your theory knowledge and creativity in Food and Nutrition or engineering skills in DT by completing one task a week from the activity sheet below.
