FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

• In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour. 

Definition: If something is aerodynamics it is able to move through the air

 

4 forces of flight:

1.   Gravity
2. Thrust   
3.   Lift
4.   Drag

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. paper 
2. paper clip

Steps:

1.Make the plane.
2.Cut flaps. 
3.Then put a paper clip on the nose of the plane.

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	2.9	curves to the side.
Ailerons	2.3	curves to the side.
Paper clip	2.8	straight line.

Conclusion: I like making stuff because i am hands on
