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.
4 forces of flight:
- Gravity
- Thrust
- Lift
- drag
Paper Plane:
Material:
1.
2.
Steps:

Findings:
[Without clip: 5 meters]
[with clip 4 meters]

Normal
| 5 meters | Smooth, Straight line |
Ailerons
| 3 meters | Curved |
Paper clip | 4 meters | Straight line. |
Conclusion: The smoother the plane is the more speed it go's.
The paper plane that was normal flew 5 meters in a Smooth, Straight line.
The paper plane that had ailerons flew 3 meters in a Surved line
The paper plane that had a paper clip flew 4 meters in a Straight line
