This past week was the science expo! We had to make hovercrafts as a class. We had done it before, so we were able to start them quick. We remembered how to do everything and the first day of building was very quick. We were able to cut the plastic, tape the plastic, and make holes all in one day. Savannah hadn’t made them before so we got to teach her. It was really cool to teach someone else because it helped me understand it more myself.
The next day we got to test them and as expected, they weren’t working at first. It was fine, we made more holes in the bottom and added more tape because the air was not leaving quick enough. When we tried to make more holes it wasn’t working because there was too much air leaving. We found out that we had made holes on the top so the air was leaving but it wasn’t helping float the hover craft. We tried to tape those holes but the tape was just ripping. It was very frustrating, but we had to take it apart and restart the Day of science expo. it ended up working fine and it was a good learning process.
