Aerodynamics

 This afternoon we learnt all about Newton's second law; F=ma (force = mass X acceleration)

We tried this out with paper planes and our three winners for distance were Joseph,  Louis and Tom.

We then began making our first rockets, including fins and nose cones. We talked about finding the centre of gravity and the centre of pressure. Check out some of our progress.








Our budding engineers are having a blast!
