Learning Task Design for Science KLA

Join the GUSH Science Design Project at Maryknoll Fathers' School! In this hands-on experience, students will design and create a flight device along with a launcher. The challenge is to keep the flight device airborne for the longest time possible, adhering to restrictions such as a height limit of 5 meters and a maximum mass of 0.3 kg. The project emphasizes collaborative learning, scientific investigation, progressive stages, and peer feedback, guiding students through design, trial, and adjustment phases over three months. Let’s elevate your scientific skills together!
