    This document provides instructions for a grade 6 science activity on the properties of air and characteristics of flight. Students are directed to visit two websites to gather information needed to build and test a paper airplane, including learning about how air has mass, pressure, and temperature, Bernoulli's principle, why warm air rises and how birds can fly using four forces, and comparing airplane and bird wings. They are also tasked with creating a timeline of flight highlights and watching an animated video explaining how things fly before designing and testing their own paper airplane.

    Grade 6 Science

    Properties of Air & The Characteristics of Flight

    SCAVE
    NGER
    HUNT

    For this activity, you will need to follow the hunt for information on the internet site:
    http://www.mysciencesite.com/science6airflight1.html in order to gather data to help you
    plan and build the greatest paper airplane. You will need to follow the NEXT button to
    move through the pages to gather the information.
    1. How can you prove that:
    a. Air has mass
    b. Air has pressure
    c. Air has temperature

    2. Explain Bernoullis Principle

    3. Floating Up, Up, and Away


    a. Why does warm air rise?

    4. Why can a bird fly?


    a. Explain the four forces

    5. Airplanes vs. Birds Complete the chart to compare the wings of an airplane and a
    bird.
    Airplane Wings

    Bird Wings

    6. Use the information on the site to create a History of Flight Timeline Highlights
    (using the site as an example).

    Now go to another site: http://howthingsfly.si.edu/


    7. Watch the animated video to explain how things fly.
    8. Use the Forces of Flight tab to go to http://howthingsfly.si.edu/forces-flight/fourforces to design and fly your own plane.

    a. What plane design helped you fly the fastest?


    b. What plane design helped you fly the highest?
