Planes

Aim: To look at the 4 main forces of flying and how these can be overcome.

Hypothesis: I think that our plane was very heavy.

Method: Working in pairs you are going to make a paper wing and experiment with it.

1. Make a paper wing out of A4 paper 
2. On the field you will need to record and observe how 5 different changes affect the way it flies.

Plane type	How does it behave?	Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop	It drops to the ground.	1s 45ms
Paper with fold down middle, drop	It wobbled to the ground	1s 71ms
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	It just went down on to the ground.	1s 95ms
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	It swayed until it touch the ground.	1s 69ms
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	it went straight and slowly when down the it touched the floor.	3s 20ms

Findings:
With unfolded paper  it just dropped to the ground it took 1s 45 it was the fasted time because it was lighter.When we folded it it got heaver and the timer went longer.Then we folded it 6 times and add a paper clip.Then we added 2 paper clips and it made the timer go slower as you can see.
