This little mini unit was a ton of fun and a good reminder to me that it isn't very much work to make one.Klenda built a rubber band-propeller driven plane and Mxyl built a "rip cord" helicopter. Both actually flew!
Leena and Zorg built air pressure rockets and had a great time racing them with different payloads.All four of these were from very nice kits that Mumpy had bought for them over a year ago. I tend to get cool stuff and then stash it away until I hit the right combination of ages and topics.
We never got to the Aviation Museum (Mxyl hurt his knee the morning we were to have gone), but Air and Space was fantastic!We got there at 10, before things got crowded. Even the little guys were fascinated by all the hands on exhibits.
Choclo and Oob loved the plane best of all. You could see the ailerons and elevators move as they steered.
Here is Leena doing the Bernoulli experiment.
Klenda got to help with a paper airplane experiment.
Then everyone got to do the paper airplane contest!
An amazing time was had by all!
