Write down all the names of animals and plants you can think of that fly. The Sugar Glider Write a paragraph and tell what this animal looks like, where he lives, and what he likes to eat. Be sure to also tell the name of the animal. Before we start building kites, we need to think about the aerodynamics of kite flying. When you are ready to attach the kite string, it needs to be tied to the kite at just the right place so all the aerodynamic forces will be equal.
Gravity forces the kite down.
If the kite is at the correct angle, the wind forces the kite up. If the kite is attached too high, there will not be enough lift and the gravity will pull the kite down. If the kite is attached too low, there will be too much drag on the line and the kite will not be able to fly. When the string is attached to the kite at the right point, the kite will have an upward slant to it. The air pushing up against the slant of the kite causes the kite to rise into the air.
