Team 4 Focus Question: How do the four forces of flight work together to help things fly?
This term our team will be exploring, describing and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of forces.
We will be identifying and describe the effect of forces (contact and non-contact) on the motion of objects; identify and describe everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy, and energy transformations. Check this out!
WALT: follow scientific method in order to collect, analyze, and interpret data on the most effective paper plane design.
Task Description: This term you will be pairing up with a classmate to build the ultimate (paper) flying machine!
You will research different designs, think about which design will fly the best, build your own paper planes, test your designs, and analyse the results of your very own scientific experiment! link

WALT: create an animation to explain one of the forces of flight
Task Description: In this task, you will use research to create an animation on flight. You can work with a friend and look at the 4 forces of flight. You must record a short video and share your understanding of flight in this task.
WALT: Understand and explain the four forces of flight (lift, weight, thrust, and drag) through physical demonstrations and experiments.
Task Description:
Observing and analyzing: Watching and breaking down real-world examples of flight.
Experimenting: Conducting hands-on activities to simulate each force.
Modeling: Creating physical representations of these forces.
Discussing: Sharing our understanding and asking questions.
