We cut our paper helicopters out and started testing.
Students had to figure out how to make the helicopter spin in the opposite direction, spin faster, and what a paper clip would do to the helicopter.
This was a fun way to use the scientific method. Students wrote a short response about what they thought, what they did, and the results.
STUDENTS: Tell me about one hypothesis you tested. What happened? Did you like this experiment? Why? Don't just say it was fun,, what was it about the experiment that was fun?
My hypothesis was that putting the paper clip near the top would make it crash it did end up crashing.i liked the experiment because we all got to stand on our chairs and drop it and learning at the same time.
