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.
The definition of aerodynamics is that something can fly
4 forces of flight:
- Gravity
- Thrust
- Lift
- 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.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
