Primary 5 have been looking at the flight of Birds recently and have noticed that some birds fly quicker because of their wingspan. P5 wanted to know if a there was any link with Humans and their wingspans. This was timed perfectly as the Boys and Girls were exploring length in numeracy.
First the class investigated the link between wingspan and height. As a result we discovered that the longer the persons wingspan, the taller the person.
Then we investigated if Wingspan/Height affects our speed. We timed ourselves running over 10 metres and 20 metres. We found out that over shorter distances shorter people run quicker and over longer distances taller people run quicker!
