Flying Thingamajigs!

The 5th grade math team assembled in the Calvert School gym today to test their "Flying Thingamajigs". A Flying Thingamajig is made fom a single strip of paper and launched from a drinking straw. Everybody in the grade had three attempts to 'fly' the furthest distance. The winner was the proud recipient of a Calvert Frisbee and assorted other prizes. Overall all though math is the real winner!

The exercise will form the basis of a data collection and handling unit for the grade. Now it's back to the classroom to analyze the results.

Welcome Back to School

Welcome back everyone!
