Boomerang Science

Today we are going to investigate how boomerangs work. A boomerang is a flying wing used as tool, toy, or weapon used for a variety of things from fun to hunting. Usually made of wood or plastic, but ours in made of foam. Our foam boomerang is called a Roomerang because it can be thrown and used indoors without breaking anything. Boomerangs fly in a circle and come back to you. We will learn about wings, airfoils, lift, rotational inertia and gyroscopic precession.
