serious fun

This morning the local Filipino homeschool group

joined us for an aeronautics workshop

taught by Mark

(my intelligent and creative husband)

The kids had a great time experimenting with airflow

and Bernoulli's Principle,

watching movies of airplanes being built in fast motion,

and experiments with aerodynamics.

Then the older students branched off to make a variety 

of paper gliders to fly

(even the parents made a few!)

While the preschool students made their own fun,

learning the names of the parts of an airplane,

making roto-copters,

and watching them spin from way up as high as we could go!

The preschool grand finale was to make edible airplanes,

with a banana fuselage, graham cracker wings, a cookie tail, and

candy windows.

How sweet it is...

Okay, this one didn't quite look like an airplane,

but it was still some serious fun.

Thank you to the Homeschool Network 

and all of the wonderful families who attended today. 

 We were blessed by you!
