Grade 6's have done several experiments in class to explore and understand Bernoulli's Principle in the past two weeks. Now it's time to put the theory to work! Since this a unit about flight, let's make something fly! Many people have built paper airplanes before, and some have undoubtedly worked better than others. Follow the link below to create a paper airplane unlike any other. This airplane makes use of Bernoulli's Principle to maximize flight. Try it around the house or out in the backyard.
Bernoulli's Airplane
Note to Parents: This paper airplane makes use of Bernoulli's principle, a topic that we have been exploring in class. The creation of the paper airplane is directly linked to Ontario Curriculum Science expectations. The specific expectation is that by the end of Grade 6 students will describe ways in which the four forces of flight can be altered.
