Class Response Blog 2

Recently, in Science class, we created our own kites to help us understand the unit on wind and weather. We had to create a kite into any shape that we thought would fly, create an original name related to weather and decorate the outside of the kite with weather symbols. For this activity, we also had to write a paragraph on why kites fly and make sure our kites were creative and colorful. I believe that kites fly depending on the shape it is and whether or not the kite has holes for air to travel through. Also I thought that kites fly with a certain kind of wind. For instance, if you were flying a kite in a land breeze it would be harder because the wind is not as strong as a sea breeze. After we created our kites, we brought our kites outside to see if they fly. Sadly, my kites did not fly. I believe that my kites was not able to fly because of the size of my kite and the type of wind that was blowing. Not only was this activity educational it was also a lot fun!
