The “O-Wing” Experiment - ABC
Lesson 6 The O- wing Experiment Page 1 Ruben Meerman 2004 The O- wing Experiment Brief description This lesson focuses on the scientific method and can be incorporated into a unit on flight or as a stand alone activity. Students learn that a controlled Experiment is a repetitive process in which one variable is incrementally changed while all others are kept constant. Students build and test several O- wing gliders to investigate the effect of wing size on flight performance. Next, they design their own Experiment to investigate the effect of fuselage (straw) length on the O- wing s performance. As a fun closing activity, students can construct multi-winged O- wing gliders to compete in The Most Bizarre O- wing Challenge . Duration: 60 80 minutes Year Level: Lower to upper primary Location: School hall, outdoors or classroom (depending on weather and availability) Topics: Scientific method, experimenting, controlling variables, measurement, qualitative and quantitative results, flight Preparation: 10 minutes Extensions: SCIENCE / SOSE Research the history of flight ART/SCIENCE Construct the most, weird, bizarre or beautiful flying O- wing Overview Whole class Teacher demonstration (5 10 min) Discuss
