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:
- Gravity
- Thurst
- Lift
- Drag
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. paper
2. paper clip
Steps:
1. Fold the paper in half.
2. Fold it like a triangle on a paper then fold it down.
3. Fold it like a triangle again.
3. Fold in each side.

Ailerons
| 4.7m | spins |
Rudder
| 1m | swoop |
Conclusion:
I have learned that 4 forces flight is Gravity, Thurs, Lift and drag. I threw my paper plane in the first attempt and it went straight, my second attempt when I put a paper clip when I threw it, it was spinning then my third attempt and I cut on both, it went swoop.
