light

first we had to list 5 things that were man made and 5 things where natural

Man made
natural
Light bulb
sun
LED
Stars
flashlight
lightning
Flood light
magnesium
Fireworks
lava



then we had a light box and a bunch of things and we had to shine the light in them and record the 
results
shape
light
Flat m
Reflects in the angle given
Slight c m
Bends the light in to a ‘star’ shape
C m
Bends in to a ‘x’ shape
In c p
Widens beams of light
Out c p
Points the light
Big right t
Pontis -1
Small right t
Bends 2 slightly bends 1 massively
Football p
Slight point
triangle
Bendsend +1
rectangle
Bad point [nothing]
Half c
Point [half point]

here is what we used
light box and conector
shapes to reflect the light

this week we had to make a venn diagram on the wright brother and richard pearse. um so heres mine



ya its not that good

flight 2-aerodynamics

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

Hypothesis: I think that.......


Method: Working in pairs we are going to make a paper wing and experiment with it.
  1. Make a paper wing out of A4 paper 
  1. 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


2.11
Paper with fold down middle, drop

1.42 shut
2.67 open
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop

1.48 shut
1.37 open
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop

1.15 shut
1.22 open
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw

flight 3 the first flight

The first flight was not in a plain it was in a balloon
1670 was when italian priest Francesco de lana comes up with the thought but never makes it
14 september 1783 was the day the first fight with a living thing was taken i think.
Then the french academy of sciences asked jacques charles to invent a scientific flying machine so he makes the hydrogen balloon
It was tested on December 1, 1783.
here is more on the flight with the living beings
Joseph montgolfier and his brother jacques made paper. One day joe was watching sparks float up the chimney and figured that it was the hot air making them float. He then filled a silk bag full of hot air to see if it would float. It did. He made bigger and bigger until he made a full size one. The brothers put 3 amamale in the first flight a cockerel, a sheep and a duck

They were rewarded by the king with a gold medal. The sheep was also rewarded by getting a home in the royale zoo
here's a diagame

flight 1



things that fly 
Natural
Man mad
Bugs
Plane
Birds
Paper aeroplanes
Dragons
Helicopters
Dinosaurs
Balloons
Bat
Jet

Lift:where the air pressure is greater under the wing than on top of the wing 
Drag:the force to slow down a plane/bird
Thrust:the forward movement of a plane or bird
Gravity:the downward force on a plane or bird 
Aerofoil: the shape of the wings of planes and some birds 
Bernoulli effect: the more wind under the wing forces the wing up crating lift when the wing is in a aerofoil shape Image result for flight lift drag thrust weight

Activity 1: Your challenge is to hold a rectangular piece of paper close to your mouth, blow across the top of it and get the paper to move down. Sounds simple enough but give it a go and see if you change your mind.

What is happening?
the paper will rise and you will get light headed
