History Of Barnstorming

On November 4,2016 a group of Pacific Aviation Museum employees called Barnstormers came to the 7th grade classroom to teach us about the history and future of barnstorming. During our session with the barnstorming team we were taught the history of barnstorming which was interesting because compared to today airplanes were so different back then based on their appearance and use. During Erika's presentation she as well gave us an explanation on what was the Isaac Newton's third law, Bernoulli's Principle and how exactly lift is generated which caught my attention because we had just learned the following things in science class. During Erika's demonstrations on the laws and principles of those who were experts in science indeed helped me understand that certain laws/principles can be seen everyday. Erika's presentation gave me more knowledge on how planes and other transporting vehicles came to be today with the help of science and those who were a connoisseur at it. After Erika's amazing presentation we split into groups and did rotations and we started off with Jordan.

Jordan taught us how a wing works
What I though was the coolest was when we started to blow out candles through a container. I thought the candle demonstration was so cool because the air didn't just bounce off the container but it went around the container and transported to blow out the flame. After the candles we got ping pong balls and we placed it in a funnel connected to a clean straw and blew into it. When we started blowing into the straw the ball just started to shake and it stayed inside the funnel. What happened with the ping pong ball was the total opposite of what I predicted because I though the air would blow it out the funnel but instead the air went around which demonstrated Bernoulli's
