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.
Aerodynamic is a thing that moves in the air.
A solid object that which air flows around.
4 forces of flight:
- Gravity
- Thrust
- Lift
- Drag
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. Paper
2.ruler
Steps:
1. fold in half long side
2. make the wings
3. cut ailerons
Findings:
Conclusion:
We learnt how to make a different paper plane. We found out what Aerodynamics is and the 4 forces of flight. We also found out that the difference makes when we put the paper clip and the ailerons.Material:

Behaviour
|
Normal
| 4.6 M | straight then curved at the end |
Ailerons
| 2.1 M | curved |
Paper clip | 5 M | straight line |
Conclusion:
The different tests that we did are paper plane without the ailerons and the paperclip, paper plane with the ailerons and lastly paper plane with paper clip.
