Flying flic-flacs AllStars setting and watching their Flic-Flacs fly!AllStars watching their flic-flacs

Yesterday we investigated energy - we were looking to see if we could find evidence of energy stored in a Flic-Flac. Do you think we found any energy?

Where did the energy come from that made the flic-flac fly?

    i think the rubber gave energy to the flic-flac to fly very high!!!

    i reckon the rubber band gave the flic flac energy to jump really high

    i think the rubber band gave the energy.

    Yes, I think the energy was called elastic energy. The energy came from the elastic band by stretching it and when we left it it would fly up high in the air.

    Glad that you all know where the energy came from!

    I think the flic flac had energy from the rubber band cause the band gave it a tight grip plus it then streched it out then the filc flac popped up

    I really think that the rubber band gave all the energy to flick the cardbaord in to the air.

    Hello, as you know Sasuke is me ok well…..i think the enegry came for the rubber band when it stretched and flicked the flic flack in the air

    I think the rubber band gave it the energy when we pulled it then we let go. The rubber band shot back to its normal position and took the flic-flac with it. So the rubber band actually pushed the flic-flac to make it fly the direction the rubber band went.

    Hi,
    Flic-flacs sound cool, but we don’t really know what they are, could you tell us a bit more?

    Well I think that, the energy came from the rubber band when it is pulled by the card bored.

    You know everyone thought that the only energy is the rubber band, but everyone seemed to have forgotten about how WE gave energy to the flic-flacs as well. Without us pressing it, the flic-flac wouldn’t even move unless the wind, earthquake or something like that move the thingy.

    Nancy I think you are right! Without us “setting” the flic-flac ( by stretching the elastic band) it would still be sitting on the desk! Maybe it would have to be called a sit-sat! What do you think? :wink:
