This week the children have been thinking about helicopter blades, and how different
blade sizes change the way a paper spinner falls. They took on the challenge of trying to help Mr Sycamore…Mr Sycamore arrived for work in a helicopter, amazing the students. He’s testing which
helicopter is best. Can the you help to find out if a longer blade design will make a
difference? The children thought about:
• what makes paper fall in different ways
• testing whether a paper spinner falls in different ways with different blade sizes
• sharing their ideas with the group
The children worked really well together in pairs, with some interesting results. Well done everyone!
