The practical aim of this project is for students to build a balsa wood glider which will fly the furthest distance. It is designed to give students practice in carrying out a small-scale experiment in a similar style to those which they will do on their Engineering courses.

Through this project students may acquire the following skills:

• Problem solving

• Critical thinking

• Independent Learning

• Collaborative skills and teamwork

• Planning and defining objectives

• Time-management

• Reading skills

• Following instructions

• Interpreting diagrams

• Writing skills

• English communication skills

• Asking questions

• Reflective skills

Let's see how the Year One students made gliders this year through the video.
