Alpha Science class：How to Make a Magic Straw Airplane

The dream that children most crave is to get a pair of wings so that they can fly freely in the blue sky. Today's Alpha science class is about helping children realize their dreams of flying. Alpha science toys work with kids to make a magic straw airplane out of straw and colored paper, and teach them to make a different version of an upgraded paper plane. At the same time, Alpha science toys help children understand the flight path of plane in the air and learn the scientific principles behind it. It can better fulfill the children's flying dreams and make their dreams fly happily to the starry sky with the plane.

Today Alpha science toys will work with children to make magical flying toy. This straw airplane is different from traditional paper airplane and it has a unique production method. Do you want to know how to make this straw airplane? Please read the explanations of the Alpha science class carefully!

Alpha Science class：Straw plane

What you need prepare:

1.Straw

2.Colored cardboard

3.Color tape

4.Scissor

Alpha Science class：Straw aircraft

Production steps

Step 1:

Children need to take out two pieces of Colored cardboard, cut out a piece of paper with scissor, divided it into two types: long and short, long paper width of 5 inches, short paper width of 1 inch, the production of aircraft requires 6 pieces of long paper, 6 pieces of short paper, a total of 12 strips of paper.

Step 2: 

Choose a similar color of paper, use color tape to connect their two ends together to make 12 different sizes of paper rings.

Step 3:

Select two paper rings of the same size, different colors, and use color tape on both ends of the straw (the straw needs to be glued to the inside of the paper ring where the tape is connected).

Step 4:

The magic glider is done, hold the glider and let them fly in the air, observe the flight path of the paper ring plane, and discover the mystery.

Alpha Science class：The scientific principle of straw airplane

When children see the straw airplane made by themselves fly in the air, can they not be happy about it? So do they know the scientific principle of straw airplane?

Alpha science toys quietly tell children that each of the straw paper rings is a circular flying wing because the air velocity above the annular wing is greater than the air velocity at the bottom. Because of the lift, airplane fly in the air for a short time, just like plane flying in the sky we saw on TV, did children learned it?
