Aerodynamic

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.  Gravity  
2.  Thurst
3.  Lift
4.  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.

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	4.9m	straight
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.
