For the Wright Stuff Lab, it is important to do a write up according to the checklist. It is not enough to build stuff in Science class...we must try to explain them. This will help us understand the world better (I hope). Let's have fun. Remember to try your best. ;) In your 1 page write up you must include examples of where we could observe all three of Newton's Laws in our flying vehicle. You must also explain in detail what the 4 forces in flight are and when they are balance and unbalanced during our flights. Web Resources How things fly: Kid friendly pages.
