Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics
Definition:
The action or process of flying through the air.
4 Forces of flight
1 Thrust
2 Lift
3 Drag
4 Weight
In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Balloon chemistry
Aim: To see which chemical
mix creates the most gas.
Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)
I think that all the gas will create a chemical and it reacts into a gas called helium.
Conclusion:
What I have found out from making the gas's is that the salt gas/reaction to it. It doesn't work.
Materials:
- Bottles
- Balloon
- Soda water
- Salt
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
Steps:
- Put baking soda in one balloon
- Then put vinegar in the bottle
- Pour the baking soda into the bottle
- Put vinegar in a bottle
- Put the salt in
- Put the balloon on the neck of the bottle
Findings:

Rainbow Paper Science experiment
Rainbow Paper
Aim To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.
Materials
Water based felt pens
Filter paper
Plastic cup
Water
Pencil
Ruler
Steps
1. Get in a group of 2 or 3
2. Get some filter paper
3. Get water based felt pens
4. Draw two dots on the filter paper with pencil and use a ruler
5. Then draw the dots with the pens
6. Get a plastic cup
7. Fill the cup with water
8. Set the paper in the cup
Conclusion
What have I learnt from this experiment?
I learnt that when you put colours on a filter paper and soak it in water the colour go's to the other side and makes a rainbow.
I learnt that the colour on the paper travels at different speeds
I also found out you can figure out DNA fingerprints/footprints.
I found that you can use the paper to figure out who forgery that wasn't that person.

Task 1: Put the chemicals in a chart with the titles: Name, Chemical ingredients, Image,
Solid/Liquid/Gas.
My task was to make this chart and put the Name, Chemical ingredients, Image,
Solid/Liquid/Gas.
Conclusion
What I found out was the chemical ingredients for all of the equipment.
