    Activities Flight and Air

    Week 8
    Hot air balloon from plastic bags
    Use a simple plastic
    supermarket bag and hairdryer
    to inflate the bag. Let it go and
    watch what happens.

    Can you tell me what is


    happening?
    Teacher notes: Hot air balloon
    The bag inflates with the air but
    because it is warm the bag rises
    above the cooler air in the room.
    If you are working with small
    children you can talk about the
    molecules of air getting hotter
    and moving quicker and making it
    rise in the air.
    The bag can get hot so watch and
    monitor carefully.
    Balloon rockets

    Blow up a balloon. Hold


    tight to the end but do not
    knot the end.
    Attach a straw to the
    balloon
    Thread string, fishing line
    or wool through the straw.
    Hold tight to the string
    from each end of the room.
    Let go of the balloon –
    what do you observe?
    Paper planes

    • Using scrap paper


    build a paper airplane.
    Create a landing strip
    and see who’s plane
    can fly the furthest.
    • Extension – see if you
    can make adjustments
    to fly in circles or do a
    loop-de-loop
    Teacher notes – paper planes

    Simple Dart
    The Bulldog Dart – flat nosed
    plane that flies differently to the
    standard dart.
