A series of aeromodelling workshops was organized by ARCH Foundation for 8th grade students to facilitate the application of physics (laws of motion and types of forces) in real life. It started with the facilitators giving a presentation and explaining how the theory of airplane design was developed - starting from Da Vinci’s design to the model made by the Wright brothers. How different aerofoil shapes affect the plane and why they are used in different types of planes was also discussed with the children. It was an exciting workshop and the children thoroughly enjoyed making and testing their planes. It not only enhanced their understanding of the various forces, but also brought in a fun and exciting element to a physics topic like Aero-modelling.
