FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics.

• In your groups of 3, you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behavior.
• In groups of 3, you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behavior.

Definition: If an object is aerodynamics that means it is able to move through the air.

4 forces of flight:

1. Thrust: Produces, Balances the Drag.
2. Drag: makes the Weight slow down with them.    
3. Lift
4. Gravity

Paper Plane:

Material: Piece of Paper

1. Paper

2. Paper clip

Steps:

1. Fold Lengths
2. Fold Again
3. Fold Corners

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behavior
Normal	5m	Straight line
Ailerons	3m	Swoops To Side
Paper clip	5m	Straight

Conclusion: I learned how Aerodynamics works and how Aerodynamics

can make a big impact on the object, paper airplane, you could just make

a few changes like cutting out a few squares would make a big difference

to the plane,

I have learned how our planes changed different directions with only a

few adjustments, our Normal plane with no adjustments flew in a straight line, 5M and our paper plane with Ailerons flew 3M in a Swoop to the side, Changing your plane just the slightest does make a diffrence,
