making Paper Airplanes and learning some of the science behind Flight

Have you ever wondered how planes fly in the air? They are so big. For real.
  • Let’s look at some of the common characteristics of things that fly. Looking at bird wings and plane shapes the main characteristic is the aerofoil shape.
  • The wings of birds and planes have what is called an aerofoil shape. This aerofoil shape helps us overcome weight which is the effect of gravity pulling down on the mass of the aircraft.
Bernoulli’s principle helps explain that an aircraft can achieve lift because of the shape of its wings.  The curve of the wing that allows more wind to travel over the top of the wing than the bottom of the wing.


Science Behind Flight
Aviation the flying or operating of aircrafts.
Aeronautics is the science behind flight.


There are four forces that help an airplane fly.
​The four forces are lift, thrust, drag, and weight or gravity. 



Thrust is generated by the engines of the aircraft.
Our thrust is going to our forward launch throwing the paper airplane.

Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air. Lift is generated by every part of the airplane, but most of the lift on a normal airliner is generated by the wings.

Gravity is the force that will be pulling a paper airplane to the ground.
  • In order to make a paper airplane fly as far as possible and help fight against gravity, they must keep their plane as light as possible.

Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air.

March is Women's History Month so we have a question for you.

​Who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932? Connect with us on social and share your answer.

With so many school closures due to the COVID-19  we are doing our part to help educate or children and keep their minds positive and engaged.

Every day at 10AM CDT we will be sharing learning and crafting time on Facebook LIVE. Let’s start off the week with some fun experiments for kids using items you may have at home. 
​
These vinegar and baking soda experiments are classics and you can scale this up for your older kids. Include research on the chemical reaction, or making a rocket. ?
https://www.google.com/…/how-to-make-homemade-rocket-v…/amp/
Scale it down for younger kids and enjoy the bubbles and colors.

What’s the Science Behind It: 
When vinegar and baking soda mix there is a reaction between an acid and a base. 
1. Vinegar is the acid 
2. Baking soda is the base
This reaction causes a gas called carbon dioxide to bubble and foam. 
Materials you’ll need.
Making Soda
Vinegar 
Funnel
Empty Water bottle
Balloon 
Food coloring
Small plastic cups
Dropper or straw
Measuring cup
Eye protection
Baking sheet (too catch over flow)
Let’s create and learn. ?
