3. Make a chart like this on you paper, just half page long or less. Write in things you already know about flight and then add some things you might like to know more about on the topic of flight. What I know: You’ve watched things fly but what do you know about the forces that enable them to stay up and move in the sky? What I want to know How do things that are heavier than air stay in the sky ? What keep a hot air balloon up ? Hellium?

7. Bernoulli ? Who was he ? http://scifiles.larc.nasa. gov/text/kids/Problem_ Board/problems/flight/l ift2.html http://scifiles.larc.nasa. gov/text/kids/Problem_ Board/problems/flight/l ift2.html What country is he from ? What did his theory say about flight ?

8. Look and list Glance through the student book. List some objects you think we might need in some of our labs this unit.

9. NASCAR How does this unit relate to Nascar ? What forces are mentioned ? http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=38WYsBSm zAA http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=38WYsBSm zAA
