This year as part of our Science Fair investigations we have been looking at the principles of flight. We have been looking at the four forces that act on a paper plane. These consist of thrust, lift, drag and gravity.
The whole Y8 group is going to have a paper plane competition (last week of term). We will be judging on longest flight time and longest distance. For inspiration we watched the Paper Planes movie (trailer below) and have now set the goal of seeing if we can throw a paper plane 25m! It's ON! Get researching and designing and see what you can come up with!
