Science doesn't have to be
complicated, expensive or use specialized laboratory equipment.
There are great science projects that can be performed using common
household items.
Whether you are a parent or a student trying to find an idea for a science project, a teacher looking for ideas for the classroom, or a science enthusiast who enjoys the delight of experimentation, you'll find what you're looking for in this book. |

How does an airplane take off?When an aircraft moves into the wind, the wings cut the airflow in half. Some air travels above the wing, some air travels below the wing. Plane wings are build to be curved on top and flat on the bottom. The wind, or air stream, flowing over the wing travels a different path from air traveling under the wing. This difference in the path of the wind, creates lower air pressure above the wing. The higher air pressure under the wing lifts the plane into the air creating lift. When there is enough lift to overcome gravity, the plane takes off. All the time, the plane is being slowed down by having to push through the air. This is called drag, and the engines have to overcome it. As long as the plane continues to move forward at a fast enough speed, the plane continues to fly. Planes use engines to move quickly down the runway to create the lift for take off. Helicopters rotate their wings (or blades). The rotating motion forces air past the wings creating lift.
Websites with information on FlightBeginners guide to aerodynamics.Lots of different paper airplanes. How a plane is controlled. Experiment with Flight1. Make a Wing (Paper, tape, thread, needle, and pencil) The air flowing over the wing, creates lower air pressure above the wing, so it rises up the thread. |
