I'm not sure if it would be too easy... need your "okay", Ms Zhang.
Investigating whether the material of a kite will affect its flight.
Method:
- Gather materials and equipment such as; wire, fabric, cardboard, scissors, etc.
- Use specific measurements so that all the kites are the same size and shape.
- Use wire to make the shape of the kite and use the ball of string as the rope.
- Fly each kite and record observations like how high each one flew, how fast each kite flew.
- Repeat steps 1-4 a few more times to verify answers.
The independent variable would be the material of the kite and dependent variable would be the distance and height it flies as stated in previous post.
Could work... but you'll also need to test in different environments, eg low wind, high wind etc. Also keep in mind that wind levels at kite flying areas is higher than the ground.
ReplyDeleteAnd making a kite is slightly more involved than a piece of material and a few sticks- make sure you know what you're getting yourself into! :D
But aside from those comments, looking good!
