(Helicopter template available to print. If no printer then copy the template with a pencil and a ruler onto a piece of paper or card.

You have until Tuesday 1^st December to complete these activities. Upload a photo to Teams or send to your class email.

Extension Challenge:

·       Can you change the shape of your plane so that is stays in the air longer? Which designs work better to achieve this?

·       Does using a different type of paper or material affect the time spent airborne.

·       Does changing the size of the hoops or length of the straw keep the glider in the air longer?

Record what happens during your investigations. This can be done by:

·       Drawing and labelling a diagram of your results.

·       Creating a table to show how many seconds each design stays in the air.

·       Taking a video of you completing the investigations with you adding scientific commentary as to what you found out.

Bring this in to school on Wednesday 2^nd December for your next investigation in science on that afternoon.
