Name __________ **“The Sky’s the Limit” Objectives ** Gr.6 Science

1A) **What if…**  - to discuss living and non-living things that fly, how they are able to fly and how flight impacts our lives. NOTE: Journal #1 - “Know? Want to know? How to find out?” and Vocabulary Sections are started. 1B) The Dynamics of Flight – Movie and Sheet

2) **How Do You Know Air is There?** - to identify the 3 properties of air: space, pressure, and mass.  - to understand how these properties of air affect all things. NOTE: Labs #1 – “Is Air There?” AND #2 – “Does Air have Mass?”

3A) Molecules in Motion – to explain what happens to air molecules when heated and cooled.  COOL LAB #3 – pop bottle and balloon. 3B) **What Happens When Air is Heated?** - to identify another property of air: heated air rises and cooled air drops. - To demonstrate the movement and power of rising air. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Lab #3B – “Hot Air Balloons” <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">3C) Movie – “Disasters in the Air” <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> Assignment – “The Mighty Airship”

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">4) **How Do Objects Move in Fluids?** - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to identify air as a fluid and demonstrate the effects of resistance and compression.  - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to observe the every action has a reaction and to investigate the effect this law has on water and air. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Lab #4 – “Observing Resistance and Compression in Action”

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">5) **How Can an Object Overcome Gravity?** - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to explore to opposing forces – Gravity and Lift  - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to investigate Bernoulli’s Principle <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Mini-Lab #4 – “Bernoulli’s Principle With Paper, Balloons, and a Ping Pong Ball” Journal #3 – “It’s a Poet’s World” <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Roto-copters!   **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Field Trip (hopefully!) **** J **  =Test on Lessons 1-5=

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">6) **How Can Heavy Objects Fly?** - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to investigate lift and drag.  - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to explore the effects of an airfoil  - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to explain why and airplane wing is shaped as it is <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> NOTE: Mini-Lab #6 – “It’s a Drag!”

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">7) **How Are Flying Objects Propelled?** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> - to investigate forward motion – the force of thrust. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Mini-Lab #7 – “Propulsion: Balloons, Popcorn, and an Octopus named Al”

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">8) **How Do Airfoils Provide Thrust?** - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to identify aircraft that do not use jet engines to achieve thrust <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Mini-Lab #8 – “How to make your own propeller” <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">9) **What Happens When an Aircraft Has No Engine?** - to investigate the forces of gravity, lift, drag, and thrust as they affect flying objects NOT propelled by engines. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">- to demonstrate how the streamlined shape of an object affect its movement through air. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: Mini-Lab #9 – “Paper Airplanes!”

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">10) **How Does a Pilot Control Flight?** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">- to understand what control surfaces are and how a pilot uses them to control the flight of an aircraft - <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">to focus on some pioneers of aviation
