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. 

Definition:   


4 forces of flight:

1.  Thrust  
2.    lift
3.  drag 
4.   gravity

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. paper 
2. paper clip
3.scissors

Steps:

1. fold paper 
2. cut paper 
3. do the paper plane test 

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	3.3	it swirled
Ailerons	3.8	it swirled
Rudder	2.8	it went off coerce

Conclusion: 

the normal plane flu 3.3 meters.
the plane with ailerons flu 3.8 meters.
the plane with rudders flu 2.8 meters.

Teachers Comment
You did well to get your script and filming completed with your group. It was challenging for you to work with people that you didn’t know very well. I would suggest that you choose more focused people to work with next time.
I can only see 1 blog post on your blog. Keep working hard to complete your work by managing your time well.

Other Skills Teamwork Helpful

Ki o Rahi is one of the games we played and the materials we used where a ball, posts, cones and there was a centre circle. 

We play kick long ball it was fun. In kick long ball there was a  and a fielding team. So the fielding team had to pick a roller.

Multiball was fun when we played netball. Multiball is a game where there is more than one ball. There was soccer, touch, netball and basketball.

Silly bananas is a game where you are running around but when you get tags you have to be in the shape of a banana until you get peeled.

The 100 challenges a game where you have to run from one side to the other in the gym.

Fat man splat is a game where you kick the ball.


Netball It’s basically just a normal game of netball but before you score a goal you MUST put the ball through your legs. Also, you can take a step instead of passing straight away. We will tell everyone to sit down and listen, then we will explain the rules. Once we have done that we will make two teams and then start our game.

rubbish collection

when I finished singing with the whaea Raywyn I came back to see lots of rubbish on the ground and I thought it was bad so when the other kids went to pick up rubbish. I picked up rubbish that was on the ground and I got a treat and when I came back Mrs Alpers said here he is. So what you should do is pick up rubbish.
