Helicopters are acted on by the same four forces of flight as airplanes. Lift and thrust are still needed to overcome gravity and drag, but they do it a little bit differently. The pattern included with this activity will let you make your own simple paper helicopter so you can explore rotation as it falls through the air.
The budding aeronautical engineer in your family will want to try building a Jet Cup! This paper model project will provide a “boost” of model aviation inspiration. Building models to study science is
This fun outdoor activity includes elements of perseverance, teamwork, self-expression, and observation skills! As an individual or in a group, you will explore your surroundings and observe things
Aircraft need lift and thrust to fly, but how do you get the energy needed to overcome the weight of gravity and drag? With just a few simple parts you may already have at home, you can create a
