We finished off our Sky's the Limit class Thursday with Mrs. Pifer's students. They were aeronautical engineers and designed a flying technology that would carry passengers in the wind tunnel.

They applied the principles they learned over the last few days and demonstrated growth mind set.

How!How!

Drop copters, helicopters, and flying discs, oh my!

TVEMS 5th grade explored Bernoulli's Principle, how to design a flying technology to achieve lift, and how to construct a slow dropping technology.

Mrs. Pifer's fifth grade class created and tested their prototypes in the wind tunnel.

Next week they'll learn more about the Wright Brothers and try their hand designing and creating other flying technologies.

The Sky's the Limit Finale

Day 3: Students in Mrs. O'Brien's class explored Bernoulli's Principle and designed a flying disc to achieve lift. The fan favorite was launching helicopters outside.

Day 4: Our aeronautical engineers learned that the Wright Brothers faced many setbacks and challenges but continued to work toward their dream and never gave up. Their final challenge was to construct a flying technology that would keep two passengers in the air in the wind tunnel for five seconds or 1 passenger in the air for three seconds when dropped.

From planting strawberries to eating them, Butterfly Blessings is always full of sweet kiddos!

Today they learned that strawberries are in the rose family and createf a tasty strawberry treat, a strawberry smoothie smasher.

The 5th graders at DTEMS know "The Sky is the Limit" as they learn about aeronautical engineers.

Day 1: They explored different materials and designed and created their own flying technology that they tested in a wind tunnel.

Day 2: They learned how the Wright Brothers got their start and what sparked their interest in flying. Then they improved their favorite drop copter design and compared them to a maple seed falling from a tree.
