You've seen for yourself, or in videos, planes flying, rockets hurdling towards space, boats racing through the water and submarines exploring the depths of the ocean. Have you ever stopped and thought about the aerodynamics and hydrodynamics involved in their operation? There is a lot of interesting science that goes into how they work!
Unsure of what the steps of the scientific method are? Not sure how to apply the scientific method? Watch how we use the scientific method to explore the science of popping boba – fun juice filled balls that pop in your mouth. You can find more information about each step of the scientific method at https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science-fair/steps-of-the-scientific-method?ytid=Xxm_beTs2LU&ytsrc=description

Have you ever wondered what makes a paper plane fly? Some paper planes clearly fly better than others. But why is this? In this activity, you will explore how changing the forces that act on a plane will affect its flight. So, get ready to start folding!
