Helicopter Investigation

Science was soaring this week! Students made paper helicopters and designed an experiment to test changes made to the helicopters.  Some lab groups chose changing the weight, the size, the length of the propellers and the length of the base. They gained a deeper understanding of the Scientific Method through this exciting exploration.


This group decided to change the size to see if it would affect the amount of time it took to reach the ground.  They measured in seconds using a stopwatch.
