FLAX EXPERIMENT WRITING
Swoosh! Do you know the 4 forces of flight?
Well… The 4 forces of flight are called: Thrust,Drag,Weight & lift. Thrust is what pulls the aircraft forward,Drag is what drags the aircraft,Weight is what holds back the aircraft & lift is what lifts up the aircraft into the air.
On Monday the kea team had experiment monday! We conducted an experiment that had to do with flight. It was flax throwing! We were so excited to do this experiment!
First, In the morning the teachers put everyone into groups. The teacher that i had was whaea sam. The people in my group were: David W,Tema,Mesa & siobhan. In each group we got to choose each others roles the roles that we could choose was: The timer person,The mesurer,The recorder*writer* & The flax thrower.
Next, after we got into our groups and after we each got assigned jobs we went outside onto the basketball courts and started the awesome experiment. First we did attempt 1: Thrown by tema and it was 22 of David W’s feet. That's how we measured the distance of the flax. The flax was so smooth and slick. Our farthest distance was 51 of tema’s feet.
Then, on the sheet we had to record our stuff on had some cool interesting questions we had to answer*example: What was your best attempt* after we answered the questions we finished our experiment sheet!. We had so much fun contucting this experiment about flight!
Remember:
✨THRUST,DRAG,WEIGHT & LIFT✨

Kia ora Sarah. What an awesome blog post. I like the way you made your main ideas bold or larger to stand out. Do you have any photos of your experiment or any charts that show you data? I remember teaching about the four forces of flight when I was a teacher at Wesley!
