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.
4 forces of flight:
- Weight
- Lift
- Thrust
- Drag
Material:
1. paper
2. ruler
3 paper clip
Steps:
1. make the plane
2. cut the wings
3. fly it
Findings:
Plane Type
|
Distance
|
Behaviour
|
Normal
| 3 m | straight |
Ailerons
| 2 m | dived |
Paper clip | 2.8 m | curred |
Conclusion:
that a plane will go even more if it dose not have drag on it
