The studets in 6W designed paper airplanes and conducted a test to see which paper airplane would travel the farthest distance. Each student also attempted to describe Bernoulli's Principle. Which student correctly described Bernoulli's Principle?
Nico: "Low pressure is caused by slower moving air."
Kaci: "High air pressure is a result of faster moving air."
Chloe: "The slower the air moves, the more air pressure descreases."
Chase: "Faster moving air lower air pressure."
