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.
aerodynamics is a way that stuff fly and the way they go up.
4 forces of flight:
- lift
- drag
- thrust
- gravity
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. paper
2. ruler
Steps:
1. make the plane.
2. fly it .
3. and see how far it goes.
: We found out that the one with the paper clip was the one that went the longest and the first plane went the closest to the start. And finally Ailerons plane did ok but not as good.

Behaviour
|
Normal
| 2.4 | curves to the left side |
Ailerons
| 4.1 | went up and back down |
Paper clip
| 5.0 | curves to the right side |
Conclusion: Overall, I think this was a fun and cool but because it was fun making g the planes and fun to see how it changes. Also how it flew in the air. The normal plane flew 2.4 mitres and it carved to the side. The plane with The ailerons flew 4.1 mitres and it flew strat. The last plane flew 5 mitres.
