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:


4 forces of flight:

1.   Lift
2.    Thrust
3.   Weight
4.    drag

Paper Plane:

Material:

1.  paper
2. ruler

Steps:

1. fold the paper in half and open it up
2. take two corners and fold in the middle line
3. fold it down to its line
4.then take two top corners and fold it into the middle.
5.fold it in half and make it look like a plane with no wings
6.then u will see three corners and take the middle corner and fold it to the bottom corner and curse it to the front and back
Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	0.5m	lands smoothly and goes smoothly through the air
Ailerons	0.3m	it curves as soon as launched and starts doing flips
Paper clip	0.1m	it falls instantly as soon as its launched

Conclusion:

Today in science we were doing the flight and the four forces of flight are gravity, thrust, drag and left. do you know why drag races are called drag race it's because there parachute on the back of the supercars so that it holds the car back well it is driving so like drag it back? I and my partner Tobey made a plane and threw it, the first time we threw it the plane went 3.8 meters it went straight the second throw we put a paper clip on the tip of the plane and it went 3.1 meters it flew straight, the last throw we did we made flaps in the plane and it went 2.8 meters and in the air it swooped the one that flew the furthest was when we threw it the first time maybe because nothing was done to it like nothing had to be changed on the plane the definition of flight is the action or the process of the flying through the air.
