Teaching ideas for the Red Arrow Propeller Plane
- Use it to talk about flight and propulsion.
- Have a discussion as your class makes their own and experiments with different amounts of thrust.
- Learn how Bernoulli’s theorem allows objects to fly. It’s all about 4 forces around an aerofoil!
- Hold a paper plane building competition. A starter paper plane building kit is available here.
- Have students learn about the physics of boomerangs. Can your students make their own boomerangs?
- Students could create a science poster on hang gliders, migrating birds and the space shuttle

I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun DayFizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
