Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We worked with pieces of paper to learn how to control Pitch and make our gliders more aerodynamic and with less air resistance. 
How did you show what you learned?
We used a normal piece of paper and we made changes to it to create a leading and trailing edge. We also added weight (paper clips) and created elevators to show pitch. 
What do you need to learn next?
We will apply these new understandings to our gliders and fly it for a particular purpose.
