Study Notes
Learning Objective
- Collect data and calculate speed
Success Criteria
- Accurately measure and record time in seconds
- Accurately measure and record distances in metres
- Evaluate speed using primary data
Speed
- Measured in metres per second (m/s), miles per hour (mph), or kilometres per hour (km/h)
Measuring Speed
- Divide the distance travelled by the time taken
Construct Your Aeroplane
- Fold the paper in half to form a crease
- Unfold and then fold the corners into the centre
- Fold the top edges to the centre
- Fold the plane in half
- Create a wing crease that begins at the nose
Equipment
- Stopwatch
- Tape measure
- Pen
- Maths book
Instructions
- Locate a start position and mark it with your book
- One person sets the timer and stands at the start position holding the paper aeroplane
- Count down from 3
- On “1”, start the timer and throw the aeroplane
- Stop the timer when the aeroplane lands and measure the distance from the start position to the nose of the plane, even if it lands backwards or sideways
- Record the time and distance for each flight
- Repeat this process for each person and for as many flights as possible
