S405: The science of flying a frisbee - a lesson on aerodynamics in Splash 2019 (Apr. 06, 2019)
Ever wonder how things fly? You'll first learn some basic knowledge in aerodynamics and later apply it to flying a frisbee disc. In the activity session, you'll explore how a frisbee flies, what makes different trajectories, and what influence the wind has by throwing a frisbee disc with a partner.
