What questions do you have?

What have you learnt?
Jets, Birds, Bats, Flies, Planes, Helicopters, Ants, Spaceships, Rockets, Comets, Meteors, Asteroids, Shuttles,Pterodactyls are things that fly.

Birds are the only animals with feather (Including Flightless Birds)

  • How long does it take a plane to run out of fuel?  

  • Who invented the first plane?

  • When did the first plane take flight?
  • What causes weight on a bird?
  • What causes drag on a bird?

  • What causes thrust on a bird?

  • What causes lift on a bird?



The first plane was made by Richard Pearse.

Drag  is caused by air resistance and acts in the opposite direction to the motion.

A bird's wing produces lift and thrust during the downstroke. The air is deflected downwards and also to the rear. The bird reduces its angle of attack and partially folds its wings on the upward stroke so that it passes through the air with the least possible resistance.

In the downstroke, the pressure is higher below the wing than above, causing lift. And as they move forward, the rush of air on their airfoil wings causes more lift.
This week for inquiry we were learning about flight.  
I found finding things that fly and question hard
Next time I want to work on finding more question.
