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.
Aerodynamics is a way that objects fly and the way they move through the air.
4 forces of flight:
- lift
- drag
- thrust
- gravity
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. paper
2. ruler
Steps:
1. Make the plane.
2. Fly it.
3. wait until you see how far it goes.
: We found out that the one with the paper clip was the one that went the longest and the first plane went the closest to the start. And finally Ailerons plane did ok but not as good.

Behaviour

Normal
| 2.3 | curves to the left side |
Ailerons
| 4.0 | went up and back down |
Paper clip
| 5.0 | curves to the right side |
Conclusion:
What I've learnt:
I learn about how far the paper plane fly, I didn't know that it was very far when I throw it. It was a great experience doing this learning Hurumanu science experiment. I also learn how it flew in the air. The normal plane flew 2.3 metres and it carved to the side. The plane with The ailerons flew 4.0 metres and it flew straight. The last plane with the paperclip flew 5 metres and curved to the right.
Kia ora JV, well done on this blog post, you have completed all of the information in the tables. For your conclusion you need to summarise the information in the table. How far did each plane fly and what direction did they fly in? Your commitment is fantastic JV!
