WARM UP

You have been assigned a theory of lift. READ the theory you have been assigned. CREATE an explanation for the theory. Try to CONVINCE your classmates that your theory is most correct.

Poll

Which theory do you think is most correct?

• LONGER PATH or EQUAL TRANSIT TIME THEORY

• SKIPPING STONE THEORY

• VENTURI THEORY

• 
  BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE

• NEWTONIAN THEORY

Video Response

Using the materials provided, design and build a glider that will fly the furthest. Your glider should be designed with distance in mind. Video your glider in action using your Chromebook camera.

Multiple Choice

Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle?

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• An additional upward force is generated as the lower surface of the wing deflects air downward

• Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil cuases lower pressure on the top surface.
