Flight Incursion (Levels 3 – 6)
Flight Incursion (Levels 3 – 6)
Theme: Design & Technology – Engineering
Level: 3 – 6
Students will explore design technologies used in flight.
They will investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a flying object.
They will investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a flying object.
Activities
- Identify things that fly;
- Identify the differences between rockets and plane;
- Identify forces in play during flight;
- Test air pressure;
- Make a simple rocket model and test thrust;
- Change the shape of the rocket model to observe what happens to its flight path;
- Students design their own simple flying machine and observe a number of variables that affect the flight path;
- Explore how lowering the pressure can move objects;
- Investigate the movement of a battery-operated propeller;
- Launch a rubber stopper using chemical energy.

Testimonials
“Very good. Would have booked it using smaller classes next time so all student could have more time with the instructor.”
Karoo Primary School
“Very considerate of a few children with challenging behaviours and special needs. They were inclusive educators and it was a wonderful experience for all levels.”
