DO
How can paper move like a helicopter?
Have you found any maple seeds outside? Some people call the seeds of a maple tree, helicopters. When you drop them, they move in a particular way. They spin! They go around and around and around as they fall! Why do they move that way? How might their movement relate to their shape, size, and weight?
Watch the video to learn how to create a paper helicopter. Then toss it up or drop it down from above and see how it moves!
DRAW
How can you add design to your paper helicopter?
Draw on the paper and see how the colors and lines change! How does your design transform when the helicopter spins?
