=====FUN PALACE 2018 Wind tunnel ===== ===Activity Details=== **Type** **Duration** **# Deliveries** **Duration** ===Activity Criteria=== ===Learning Outcomes & Facilitator notes=== - **Fun fact** - Gliders are aircraft which do not have a motor. Gliders are controlled by their pilots by using control-sticks. Some gliders can only carry one person; others can carry two. In gliders with two seats, each pilot has a control-stick. Gliders always have seats for the pilots. - **Interesting fact for a child/teenager** – (fun youtube clip on how parachutes work) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZYwsAvHgVw - **Interesting fact for an adult** - A parachute slows your fall to about 19 km/h – enough for a much safer landing - **Image** - (image of a parachute slowing down a jet as it lands) https://kids.kiddle.co/Image:Typhoon_deploying_parachute_arp.jpg - **QLD collection** - (Book about Sugar Glider learning to glide –suitable for children) http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=slq_alma21106360950002061&context=L&vid=SLQ&search_scope=SLQ_PCI_EBSCO&tab=all&lang=en_US - (paragliding 1985) http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=slq_digitool227769&context=L&vid=SLQ&search_scope=DT&tab=dt&lang=en_US ===Session Plan=== ===Materials Req=== A selection of craft materials to construct parachutes, gliders etc eg: * 200gsm card (A4) * string or wool * sticky tape * plastic film (plastic bags and scissors would be enough) * ice block sticks * bamboo skewers ===Equipment Req=== * vertical wind tunnel * scissors * hot glue guns and glue * staplers * pens and pencils ===Files=== ===Reflections Learnings=== ====Gallery====
