    Bernoulli's Principle: Exert Less Force On Surfaces They Are Flowing Along. Little Did He

    Uploaded by

    Saravanan Mathi
    Bernoulli's principle states that as the velocity of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. Students will design airfoils out of paper and tape and test how Bernoulli's principle allows the airfoils to fly by blowing air over the top. They will add paperclip passengers to test how the lift is affected by additional weight. Through this experiment, students will learn how the differences in pressure caused by moving air over the curved top and flat bottom of airplane wings enables flight.

    Using a KWL strategy, students list what they know about the flying
    characteristics of an airplane and what they want to know. Responses
    are recorded on a class chart and added to throughout the study.

    will remain in the funnel). Students investigate to determine a method to get the
    ping-pong ball out of the funnel (blow over the top of the funnel).

    Hang two small empty plastic pop bottles, two paper strips, or two ping-pong balls
    on a piece of string about five cm apart. Students predict what will happen when
    they blow hard between the two objects (they will come together). Students
    record their observations, including a diagram in their science journals.
    Paperclip Passengers
    Using a standard sheet of photocopier paper and only five folds,
    students make a paper airplane. In a series of trials students fly their
    plane adding mass, paperclip passengers , in each successive trial.
    Students measure and record the distance traveled and the number of
    paperclips added. The observations are recorded in a spreadsheet and
    graphed and students draw conclusions based on their observations.
    Acquire
    Using electronic resources, students view and discuss
    videos and animations of Bernoulli's Principle.
    Students record labeled diagrams of Bernoulli's Principle
    in their science journals.

    Airfoils
    Applying

    Cooperative groups of students design and build different


    styles of airfoils using a standard sheet of photocopier
    paper and 30 cm. of tape to test Bernoulli's Principle.
    Students fasten a straw through the middle at the thickest
    point of the airfoil. A string is marked in 1-cm. increments
    and strung through the straw and fastened to a table and
    the floor. Placing the airfoil at a given height, students test
    Bernoulli's Principles using a fan or hairdryer to provide
    airflow. Through a series of trials students test the effect of
    gravity on their airfoil design by adding paperclip
    "passengers". Students diagram their airfoil shape including
    measurements, and record the results of their trials in their
    science journals.
