100
One of the main properties of air that was learned when we used the funnel with the one hole in it and poured liquid in was this.
What is air takes up space?
100
When you blow air through a paper tent, the sides bend inward. This shows the effects of air movement and is part of this principle.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
100
The pilot in the plane is like this in a bird.
What is a brain?
100
In order for a plane to take off, this part needs to be lifted.
What is the elevator?
100
Birds skeletons are often this, better allowing them to fly.
What is hollow?
200
When we pump air into a bicycle tire we see this property of air in action.
What is air can be compressed?
200
When you place a long strip of paper in the end of a textbook and blow across the top of the book, the paper will do this.
What is lift?
200
In order for a plane to fly, the air needs to be going either faster or slower over the top of the wings. You explain that the air is going...
What is faster?
200
These flaps can be found on the back of the wings, closer to the ends.
What are the ailerons?
200
In order for a plane to turn left, the ailerons need to be in these positions.
What is the left aileron up and the right aileron down?
300
A device shows how animals breath. This device would show this type of gas being exhaled and this type of gas being inhaled.
What is carbon dioxide exhaled (CO2) and oxygen inhaled (O2)?
300
Fast moving air creates an area of this type of pressure.
What is low?
300
The vertical and horizontal stabilizers can be located on this part of the plane.
What is the back or rear?
300
In order for a plane to turn and maintain the same altitude, this part of the plane is used.
What is the rudder?
300
A hot air balloon has a hole in the top of the balloon. As the hole is open and hot air escapes, the balloon will do this.
What is descend?
400
When we filled a glass with water and placed a piece of cardboard on the top of the glass and turned it upside down, the water did not fall out. This is because of this principle of air.
What is air exerts pressure?
400
The four forces of flight are these.
What are thrust, lift, drag and gravity?
400
Hot air balloons lift because the air particles outside the balloon are this.
What is more dense than the air outside (air particles are hotter and further apart inside the balloon)?
400
The place where the pilot controls the plane is called this.
What is the cockpit?
400
The two forces that act on a parachute are these.
What is gravity and drag?
500
You see a chart that states: Cruise Flight with Floats = 110 km/hr Cruise Flight with Wheels = 130 km/hr You infer that floats increase this force of air.
What is drag?
500
Sometimes birds will hop a few times before flying. They do this to overcome this force of air.
What is gravity?
500
A pilot tells you that many features of an airplane have been adapted from the features of birds. Which one of these is not an example? a. Radar to help low visibility flights b. Strong, lightweight, flexible materials c. Extra-long wings on gliders d. Landing gear folds up
What is radar to help low visibility flights?
500
A plane is seen in the air and the pilot rolls the plane from side to side. In order to make the plane roll the pilot needed to move these up and down.
What are the ailerons?
500
Air balloons are most often flown in the morning because of these two conditions.
What is the air is colder and calmer?
