How did the Wright brothers utilize the information they learned from their failures and successes in order to create the first successful powered flyer? Objective Students will construct and use a simple device to demonstrate Bernoulli’s principle and relate it to the “lift” of an airplane. Students will: ● Be able to construct a device with a straw, tape and paperclips. ● Explore the effects of blowing air through the straw and the movement of a ping pong ball in reaction to the fast moving air. ● Understand how the reaction of the ball demonstrates Bernoulli’s principle. Background The Wrig Duration: 90 Minutes.
