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:

 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.
