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:  

aerodynamics is a way that stuff fly and the way they go up.



4 forces of flight:

  1. lift
  2. drag 
  3. thrust 
  4. 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.


Plane Type
Distance
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.

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 helpful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
