We began our
day with our inquiry into flight. Today students learned about a mathematician,
named Daniel Bernoulli and how his work can explain the observations the class
made in yesterday moving air investigations. Students learned Bernoulli’s
Principle which states that faster moving air exerts less pressure that slower
moving/stationary air. They also learned that air always moves from an area of
high pressure to an area of low pressure. Knowing this, we were then able to
explain all observations. We then applied Bernoulli’s to explain how air moves
around an airfoil. In Monday’s test, students will be required to explain how Bernoulli’s
Principle can be used to explain lift in an airfoil. We will revise this again
tomorrow and students will have time to practice their explanations. Today’s
lesson took almost 2 hours!
Remaining
class time was used to work on science fair. Students could go out to first
recess if they had completed their post-construction sketch. About ¾ of the
class have not reached this stage yet.
Grade 6s
attended gym, French, and math today.
Trip forms
and payments for the warplane museum trip are now past due. Curling trip
permission and waiver forms are due on Friday.
Remember to
memorise the Guy Fakes Day poem for Monday.
