Ask a friend or family member to help you check out the following activities: Do you have a Frisbee? We hope so! Frisbees are fun to play with, especially with a friend or family member. If you don't already have one, see if you can borrow one from a friend or neighbor or purchase one from a store.
Then get outside and have some fun tossing the Frisbee with a friend! Frisbees can be used for more than just a fun pastime. They can teach you about science, too! In this fun activity, you'll explore how the tilt of a Frisbee affects how far and in which direction it flies. Have fun! Have you ever played Ultimate Frisbee?
It's a fun game that's like a combination of several other sports…all played with a Frisbee! Check out What Is Ultimate? Read through the rules and organize a game with your friends! Did you get it? Test your knowledge.

Colin Apr 21, Me: Picks up Frisbee and repeats the Frisbee Story. Apr 22, Thanks for sharing that story, Colin! Samantha Apr 13, Apr 13, Drag is a resistant force on the Frisbee, perpendicular to the lift, and it acts against the disk's movement through the air.
The angle at which the Frisbee is thrown, which we'll call the "launch angle" aka the angle of attack , affects both lift and drag. As a side note, you've probably noticed that a Frisbee doesn't travel far if it's thrown without spin.
Spinning the Frisbee helps it fly by supplying angular momentum, which helps keep the Frisbee stable; the faster it spins, the more stable it should be. You will be throwing the Frisbee so that it is directed down this center line. If you have not thrown a Frisbee much before, you may want to try practicing it for a little while. Tip : A good way to throw a Frisbee is by standing sideways with the Frisbee held in front of you near your non-tossing shoulder , then bringing the disk horizontally across you before you release it.
You can have a helper watch to confirm the angle at which you throw the Frisbee. How far did it travel? How far did it veer from the center line, and in what direction left or right? If you have a piece of paper and a pencil or pen, you can record this data and all following flight information. Each time throw the Frisbee with similar arm motion and speed, use a similar spin, and have the same release point.
How far did the Frisbee travel each time? How far did it travel away from the center line, and in what direction? You can imagine that if your arm were the hour hand of a clock, the previous throw would have been directed toward three o'clock and this throw should aim between one o'clock and two o'clock.
Throw it this way at least five times. Other than changing the launch angle, try to keep all other aspects of the flights the same. How far did the Frisbee travel each time when thrown at an upward angle?
Again, try to keep all other aspects of each flight the same. How far did the Frisbee travel each time when thrown at a downward angle? Is there a relationship between launch angle and distance?
