Flight forces

          Do you know what the four flight forces are? Well, I do if you read this It will tell you!!!

On Monday Kea did a science experiment about the flight forces, Whaea Sarah introduced it to us she also showed us a video about the four flight forces Thrust, Drag, Weight, and Lift then we got a piece of Flax a Timer and a Sheet of paper then we got into our groups I was with Belinda, Rakaii, and Junior went out on the courts it felt windy and cold, it was so cold it actually felt like a bunch of juices on your body then we decided our roles, The roles were, thrower, timer, measurer and recorder. Rakaii was the thrower, Belinda was the recorder, Junior was the timer and I was the measurer. On the count of three, Rakaii threw the flax while Junior was recording the time as soon as the flax stopped and hit the ground Junior stopped the time and then I measured with my feet while Junior told Belinda the time then I told Belinda the distance in feet.

We were testing this because we wanted to test the flight forces.   A little while later we went inside and shared back what we did whose result was the best and was the experiment fun my result was the best because I got 52 ft in 5.11 seconds. The experiment was super fun. Everyone wanted to keep on going but it was time to pack up so we gave the flax, timers, and papers to Whaea Sarah then we sat on the mat for morning tea.

    Have you ever done an experiment like this? What was your time and distance? Can your time and distance beat my record?
