FLIGHT
Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics.
- In your groups of 2, you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behavior.
- In groups of 2, you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behavior.
Definition:
4 forces of flight:
1. lift
2.gravity
3.drag
4.thrust
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. paper
2. paper clip
3. ruler
Steps:
Findings:
Plane Type
Distance
Behavior
Normal
3.0
Spinning
Ailerons
2.0 Upwards,swooped-up and down
Paper clip
4.0 Straight line.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, I learned that the paper plane with the paperclip flies further because of the fourth the paperclip as pulling it 4.0 Straight line. I learned that ailerons slow the plane down to land 2.0 Upwards,swooped-up and down. the normal plane flew 3.0 Spinning.
the plane with the ailerons flew the farthest.
