The students will then be set free to read and relax for a bit of independent reading time at the end.

Engineering and Technology
Planes. We will be talking about the different things that effect flight. From this new knowledge we will construct our own plane. The goal will be to have it fly straight for fifteen feet. If we do not meet our goal we wi…
