Paper Kites

In science class this month, our unit was weather. In order to test our knowledge with winds and so that understand them better, we were given an asignment. We had to make a kite out of construction paper. It had to be aerodynamically designed so that it would fly in the wind. When it was testing time, it turned out my kite, F-6, was a failure. It caught a draft of wind, stayed up for about a second and then dropped to the ground again. This went on for about five minutes, and then I gave up trying to fly my kite and got to the questions. These questions were about how wind is formed and how under standing wind can help us understand weather better. In the end, it turned out to be pretty fun.
