- Plan investigations and defining variables in an experiment.
- Measure and record data, and interpret results.
- Understand variability, uncertainty, and error in experimental results.
See the power of the wind.
Watch physics in action! Students will witness flight instructors interacting with objects in the wind tunnel. They will then discuss how the size, shape, and weight of an object affects its speed in the tunnel.
