Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned about Air, Aerodynamics and Flight from 20 University of Calgary students. 
How did you show what you learned?
We were interviewed by the U of C students and they asked us what we knew about flight and Aerodynamics. We participated in a variety of experiments with a very small group (2 - 5 with 2 student teachers). Some examples included: paper airplanes (gliders) and looked at how to make them go farther, demonstrating low vs. high air pressure, How birds fly?, etc. 
What do you need to learn next?
We need to start our next science unit on Flight, Air and Aerodynamics. And, the student teachers will return in two weeks to revisit the concepts we were introduced to today.
