Airplane Design Project
This is your final project for our science Flight unit!
Please read the entire booklet before starting. Follow and complete the Design Process step by step when designing, building, testing and modifying your model airplane out of recycled materials! AS PROMISED: The picture on the right is me (Ms. Kostiniuk) back in Grade 6 at HTS with my own design of a model airplane.
My plane had all four parts required including the fuselage, wings, horizontal stabilizers and vertical stabilizers! I also included ailerons! |
June 2nd
Parts of an AirplaneFirst: Watch the YouTube videos found below. If the video does not load, click on the title and it will link you to the YouTube page.
Second: View the PowerPoint full of information. It highlights specific parts of a plane and their role in flight.
Third: Complete the assignment: "3 Point Approach".
When writing definitions: explain the different parts of the plane. Include what they do and where they are located. For each picture, label where the part is found.
*Note: PowerPoint and 3 Point Approach files found on OneNote as well.
Important Parts of an Airplane:
-Aileron -Fuselage -Elevator -Rudder -Wings -Horizontal stabilizer -Vertical stabilizer -Roll -Pitch -Yaw |

"Rockets" Assignment found on ONE NOTE.
Please find a copy under "Content Library".
Assignment:
Read the "Rockets" page found on One Note. The "Work On It" Experiment is 100% optional.
After reading:
Choose one or more of the Rocket Design Experiments (found below) to build and test.
YOU MUST HAVE PARENT/GUARDIAN SUPERVISION & most likely need some help!

Find and write the definition of each word. Make sure you put it into your own words, and then draw a picture to go along with it.
You do not need to do the definition for Bernoulli's Principle. We will discuss this term later in the unit.

SNAKES AND LADDERS: SOLAR SYSTEM
I have created three different Solar System Snakes and Ladders games you can play with your family members.
Each game requires dice, although a coin could be used as a substitute (heads moves 1 space; tails moves three spaces). The object of the game is to move from the start square to the finish square. You will take turns rolling the dice. If you land on a ladder, you may move up the ladder. If you land on a snake, you have to move down the snake. Players who land on a square with a question/task, must answer before completing their go.
Different ways to play:
All players answer questions OR you (the solar system expert) are required to answer all questions.
Challenge: Print and fill in the blanks with your own solar system questions.

Minecraft Mars Base.
As part of our Space unit in science, students were challenged to use Minecraft to design a Mars Base for people to live in.
Students needed to take in potential issues when building their base. Issues with living on Mars include, but are not limited to the following:
Solar radiation: Mars has an atmosphere that allows radiation from the Sun through to the surface of the planet unlike Earth.
Dust storms: Mars has extreme winds that will blow dust into buildings and equipment.
Extreme cold: On Mars, temperatures can drop to -123 degrees Celsius. Think of our cold winter days at -30...Mars is extremely cold.
Lack of oxygen: Mars has an atmosphere that is made out of mostly carbon dioxide. Humans will not survive taking in to much CO2.
Lack of water: Mars has polar ice caps that are mostly dry ice with only some water.
Lack of gravity: Gravity holds us down on Earth, while on Mars, gravity is only 1/3 of Earth's gravity.
Your base must address at least 3 of the problems listed above.
Your solutions to these problems need to be based in science.
Thought of any creative solutions? Start building your own base while at home!
Check out some student created projects under "class creations".
*For any students that have started this project while at school, begin a second one on your own at home. What would you add, do differently?
*If you do not have access to complete this task, do not worry. It is a science suggestion.
