Flying Fox Math's.

Measure the length of the flying fox and then time how long it takes each member of the group to travel its length. Does it take the same time for each? Does the weight of the person make any difference? Weigh each person and see. Perhaps graph the results.
Try to figure out your speed in metres per second. Then try to figure out your speed in kilometres per hour. Rounding off the times and distances will help here. Ask your teachers for some help with this one!
At this speed how long would it take you to go home by flying fox?
