Science Club – K’Nex Frisbee Challenge
Technologies Theme Has Young Scientists Frisbeeing!
As part of our Technologies theme, members of Science Club had a K’Nex Challenge. Using only K’Nex, our job was to design and build a Frisbee that would fly through the air! We had three targets to meet – 10 points if our Frisbee flew, 25 points if our Frisbee flew for at least 5 metres and 50 points if it flew for 5 metres and landed on a target.
We spent some time looking at the materials available and then drew our designs on paper. Having done that, it was time to get building! Each of us built our own design before heading to the dining hall to test them out. We all did well, but thought we could make some improvements so it was back to Room 6 for some adjustments to our design and builds. Having made all our changes, we headed back to the dining hall where we all managed to make our Frisbees fly again. We also had a winner – Kelsi Stewart’s Frisbee hit our target and she therefore won with the most points. Well done Kelsi, Michael, Julia, Hannah and Jack for such dedication to Frisbee building!
