Description | In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air. Learners use a stopwatch to measure flight time and calculate the average flight time per three rounds. Learners repeat this process two more times to see how adding a small or large paper clip to the helicopter tail affects flight time. |
