1 Let s go Fly a Kite Up, in the Atmosphere!!! For this major grade project, you will be designing, constructing, and flying a kite. You may work in teams of no more than 2 students, from the same class period. You are completing this activity outside of class. So, pick a partner that you have weekend and/or evening access to. Reference material is available in the library and on the internet. All kites will be flown on Thursday, March 10 th (weather permitting). If you know you re going to be gone, you will need to fly your kite before you leave! Please see your teacher ASAP to make arrangements. Directions: Step 1: Get together with your partner and research kite construction. If you choose a pre-made plan, you must rewrite it in your own words and create your own scale drawing. No printed internet plans will be accepted and you will be charged with plagiarism. Only requirement: the shorter diagonal must be at least 20 inches long. Construction materials are completely up to you. Step 2: The names of the team members, a copy of the scale drawing with dimensions (all measurements in inches), and a materials list with construction plans must be turned in by Friday, February 26 th. Step 3: Build your kite! Then, using measuring tools (ruler, protractor etc.) you will need take measurements for your kite and fill out the worksheet. Step 4: Have your kite ready to fly and your worksheet ready to turn in by Thursday, March 10 th Bonus!! You can receive up to 5 bonus points if you make a 3-D kite in addition to your regular kite. In order to receive credit, the 3-D kite must fly. (Research 3-D kite construction online) **Note** To classify as flying, the kite must be 10 feet off the ground and stay in the air for at least 20 Seconds Here are some helpful tips: This site has some great plans and ideas! : Use Google to search kites, scale drawings and models. There are a LOT of great ideas and websites you can use. Remember, your ideas must be your own, but you might need something to help get you inspired. Stores like Michael s and Hobby Lobby have kite kits. Please do not purchase a take and make kite and turn it in as your own. Again, you will be charged with plagiarism and given a zero. You may want to build and trying flying your kite several days in advance. Don t let the day we go outside be the first time your kite is flown! A good kite usually has a tail! :)

2 Scale Drawing: Please use the grid below to create a scale drawing of your kite. Assign each grid a certain number of inches, then sketch what your kite is going to look like based on actual measurements. Please label all parts with measurements. Remember, your shorter diagonal MUST be at least 20 inches. Scale 1 in=

3 Materials List: In the space below, list the materials you plan to use in the construction of your kite. Construction Plans: In the space below, provide a description of how you plan to construct your kite. Include details such as how the materials from above will be used in the construction.

4 Dimensions: Please assign the letters ABCDE to your kite starting at the top, working your way around toward the right side and finally putting E at the intersection of the diagonals. Then, using your measure tools, trigonometry, area formulas or Pythagorean Theorem; fill in the following information. All measurements must be in inches. Round side lengths to the nearest tenth and give all angles to the nearest degree. Segment Length AB = BC = CD = AD = AE = CE = BE = DE = AC = BD = Triangle Area ABC = ADC = ABD = CBD= Triangle Perimeter ABC = ADC = ABD = CBD= Kite Perimeter ABCD = Kite Area ABCD = Angle Measure ABC = BCD = CDA = DAB = BEA = EAB = BEC = ECB = DEA = EAD = DEC = ECD = Reflections: After you have built your kite and tested it s flying, please respond to the following questions. Please use the back for addition space if you need it. 1. Did your kite fly the first time? If so, did you have to make any changes? If not, what was the biggest problem? 2. How did your scale drawing help you build your kite? Did you deviate from your plan or did you follow it exactly? 3. What advice would you have for next year s classes in designing their kites?

5 The following shows how your grade will be determined. Please turn in this sheet with your names on the first check in day with step 2.
