For the Wright Stuff Lab, it is important to do a write up according to the checklist. It is not enough to build stuff in Science class...we must try to explain them. This will help us understand the world better (I hope). Let's have fun. Remember to try your best. ;) In your 1 page write up you must include examples of where we could observe all three of Newton's Laws in our flying vehicle. You must also explain in detail what the 4 forces in flight are and when they are balance and unbalanced during our flights. Web Resources How things fly: Kid friendly pages. Check out the 4 forces: http://www.fi.edu/flights/own2/forces.html http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/forces.html http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Flight/intermediate/forces-01.html How things fly: Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum Virtual Museum Gallery: http://www.nasm.edu/galleries/gal109/gal109.html A Physical Description of Flight © David Anderson(Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) Retired & Scott Eberhardt: Wordy and complicated, but very good. http://www.aa.washington.edu/faculty/eberhardt/lift.htm Paper Airplanes: Ken Blackburn.
