Kites


In class we made kites out of paper. My predictions were that the lighter the kite was the better it would fly. Another prediction was that if the kite was flat it would fly. I belive that kites fly better with the material there made of than making tham out of paper. Paper is too heavy, unless the wind is very strong. The stronger the wind is the better your kite will fly. When we went to fly the kites it turned out my kite didnt fly. Also, wind is a big part in flying kites and there was not that much wind the day we flew our kites. Kites fly when there is high pressure under the kite and low pressure above the kite. A kite flys in the direction that the wind is going in.
