RAF Glider Challenge

12th Oct 2020

P7 had the opportunity to take part in the RAF Glider Challenge which was live-streamed into our classroom.  The children journeyed through the engineering process of designing, creating, testing and improving.  As RAF engineers they were tasked with the designing and building three prototype gliders using limited materials.

At the end of this challenge the children were able to identify different forces acting on the glider.  They designed, created and tested three gliders and developed their understanding of how gliders and other aircraft take flight.

 When all three gliders were built we went outside and tested how far each glider went and ended up with an overall winning glider.  Well done Ross and Archie!!
