Today in Science class we went outside to fly our hand-mad kites.As soon as I got outside i could feel the heat and there was no breeze. The lack of local winds and a sea breeze, made it hard for the diamond-shaped kites, to even begin to fly. However, us students still pranced around trying to catch any bit of wind that we could. The reason my kite didnt fly was becuase there was no wind. In addition if my kite had been able to fly it would ahve been due to Local winds which are short distance winds. From this experience I learned s lot. Such as why kits fly, What local and global winds are. Also that the coriolis effect has a big impact on weither or not your kite will be able to fly. With this in mind, i also learned taht kites fly better in the summer.
