To better understand how lift works, we made 2 gliders out of cardboard, straws, clay and tape. The gliders were exactly alike except for the size of their wings. RESULT: The glider with the long narrow wing traveled faster than the glider with the short-wide wing. Dad also made airplanes out of colored paper and we joined the fun. Everywhere there were flying gliders and paper planes! Our house was literally a mess after the experiment ... and it was a lovely mess!
