A paper aeroplane, glider or helicopter falls to the ground much more slowly and more gracefully than a scrunched-up piece of paper – as the designs in this Science Museum activity show. It’s all thanks to the forces generated by air pressing on and moving over the surface of the paper.
Learning Outcomes:
- Investigate how fast or slow an object moves through the air is due to aerodynamics
- Use observation and questioning skills
- See how aerodynamics has practical and useful applications in our everyday lives
