Science- Paper Planes

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:
Flight is a movement where something is moving above ground around for a long time.

4 forces of flight:

1.   Gravity
2.    Thrust
3.   lift
4.   Drag

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. paper
2. 

Steps:

1. 

 2.

 3.

4.  

 5.

 6.

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	3.2 metres	It flew fine for the first 2.5 metres then it landed in the sink.
Ailerons	3.2 metres	It flew fine for the first 2.5 metres then it landed in the sink.
Rudder	1.7 metres	because of the flaps the plane turned around.

Conclusion:
I think our plane test didn't work well because everytime we threw it it either landed in the sink or right beside it. 

Science- household items.

-Home Chemistry: Introduction

 

Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals, their elements, and reactions with other substances.

Equipment:

 

1. Dishwashing Detergent

2. Lemon

3. Sal

4. Vinegar

5. Sugar

6. Air Freshener

7. Onion

8. Lemonade

9. Bleach

10. Baking Soda

Task 1: Put the chemicals in a chart with the titles: Name, Chemical ingredient(s), Image, Solid/Liquid/Gas.

 

Name	Chemical ingredient(s)	Image	Solid/Liquid/Gas
Salt	Sodium chloride		Solid
Soap	Paraben Triclosan		Solid

Lemon Juice

Citric acid Carboxylic acid

Liquid

Sugar

Lactouse Maltose sucrose

Solid

Vinagar

Acetic acid Ethanol

Liquid

Milk	Enzymes Phospholipids		Liquid
Onion gas	Sulfenic acid		Gas
Bleach	Hydrogen peroxide		Liquid
Baking Soda	NaHCO3		Solid
Lemonade	Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen		Liquid

 

In conclusion this was a really fun task getting to learn about all of the different chemicals in different products some of which we use everyday. I also learnt that vinegar has ethanol in it.

100 Words- But its the wrong colour

This is my 100 word challenge writing we had to write about anything but we had to include the phrase "but its the wrong colour". This has to be 100 words no more no less. I found the idea for this story from videos ive seen of kids getting rather expensive and complaining that it was the wrong colour

I was early Sunday morning on my 15th birthday! I rushed down the stairs to find a pile of presents and my mum sitting next to them waiting for me. I paused to admire my pile then dashed to mum's side and ripped open my presents first came a watch next a set of makeup and more. I ripped open the silver and turquoise paper to see my the final present, I opened the box and inside was a brand new top of the line iPhone in bright red I turned to mum and said  “ ‘but it's the wrong colour’ ”.
