Aerodynamics

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:
The definition of aerodynamics is that something can fly 
4 forces of flight:

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

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. Paper 
2. Ruler

Steps:

1. Fold the long sides in half
2. make the wings
3. cut flaps on     

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	4.6	slanted
Ailerons	2.1	Curved
Paper clip	5 m	straight line

Conclusion: We found out that whatever you do to the paper plane it will change the behaviour of it. We found out that if you put a paper clip on the aeroplane it may go straight.We also found out that if you put ailerons it also may curve.
Our normal paper aeroplane got 4.6 distance on a slanted behaviour . Our ailerons paper plane got 2.1 distance but it was curved. Our paper clip aeroplane got 5 meters  and the behaviour of it was straight.

What do I BLOG about?Hurumanu Drama/Health

We played 5 different drama games there names were FREEZE FRAME, two truths one lie,follow the leader, copy dancing, tequila.

Freeze frame is a game where you have to be in 4 to  3 groups. One person is going to say what type of thing or shape we need to form. you need form a she in 5 seconds and communicate what you need to form. I learnt how to communicate with my team in 5 seconds.

Skittles

Skittles

 

Aim: To separate colours from Skittles by using chromatography.

 

Materials:

1. Flat container

2. Different colored skittles

3. Water

 

Process:

Step 1: first you put the different colored skittles in the container.

Step 2: put the container with the skittles on a flat surface

Step 3: put some water inside of the container

Step 4: wait for the color to melt off of the skittles

Step 5:

Step 6:

Conclusion: What have I learnt from this experiment?

The steps on this experiment was really easy and is definitely doable at home. The water dissolves the color off of the skittle which makes the rainbow.In this experiment I learnt that water can dissolve color out of things that has dye in them and also it can dye the water.the material on this experiment was basic materials that you may find in your house, and maybe you can do this experiment too.

100 word challenge

...But it was the wrong colour...

On my birthday me and my friends went shopping to try and find a gown for my 18th birthday. We went to a dress shop to try find a pearlescent white and long  dress. As I was walking around the store I spotted a beautiful dark and shiny dress… but it was the wrong colour. Instead of pearlescent white it was midnight black and was really short. I thought to myself “should I wear it?” my birthday was in a few hours. I was devastated and didn’t know what to do. I decided to wear it, I had no choice.

Rainbow paper

Rainbow Paper

 

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

 

 

 

Materials:

1. Filter paper

2. Water based felt pens.

3. Cup

4. A bit of water

5. Ruler

6. pencil

 

Process:

Step 1: get the filter paper

Step 2: make a line that is one centimetre long.

Step 3: make tiny circles on the filter paper using the water based felt pens.

Step 4: put the filter paper on the side on the cup just about floating on to of the bottom of the cup

Step 5: add a bit of water into the cup

Step 6: and then wait until the markers start to spread

Conclusion: What have I learnt from this experiment?

In this experiment I have learnt that water based felt pens spread really quickly if you add water to it.the steps on how to make the rainbow paper is really easy to do if you have the ingredients at home it is really easy and fun to do. The materials for this experiment might be found in your house, and maybe you can give it a go yourself.I think the coloured pens spread quickly because when the water gets to it, it makes it spread when it’s not dry yet.

 

Household chemistry

Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals, their elements, and reactions with other substances.

Equipment:

1. Dish-washing Detergent

2. Lemon

3. Salt

4. Vinegar

5. Sugar

6. Air Freshener

7. Onion

8. Lemonade

9. Bleach

10. Baking Soda

Steps : 

1.   First thing I did is to put our aim on top of the page, Then I listed the equipment that was needed.
2.secondly I made a table and  put the names of the ingredient, chemical, image and the solid, liquid or gas.
3.lastly I did the conclusion on the very bottom of the page.

Repeat the steps for all the chemicals.

Task 1: Put the 10 chemicals in a chart with the titles - Name, Chemical ingredient(s), Image, Solid/Liquid/Gas.

Name	Chemical	image	solid/liquid/gas
soap	fatty acids		solid
Lemon juice	acid		liquid
Salt	Sodium chloride		solid
sugar	Carbohydrates		solid
vinegar	Acetic acid		liquid
milk	phospholipids		liquid.
Onion gas	syn-propanethial-S-oxide		gas
bleach	sodium hypochlorite		liquid
Baking soda	Sodium bicarbonate		solid
Lemonade	citric acid		liquid

Conclusion : I learnt that there are lot of chemicals in different home supplies that you may have at your house. I also learnt that there are solid/liquid and gas in different items that can easily be found in your house.
