Airforce Museum Trip

Last week we went to the Wigram Airforce Museum as part of our topic about flight. The trip was split into 2 parts. The first part was a lesson by Chris about the forces of flight and the second part was a scavenger hunt around the museum.

In the lesson we learnt about the 4 forces of flight: thrust, weight, lift and drag. We learnt how planes fly and the different parts of a plane. We were super lucky to be able to make our own mini planes.

During the scavenger hunt we had heaps of things to look at and find around the museum.
