Today we will experiment with a mini copter and 0, 5, and 10 paperclips.
3
Poll
How do you want to word the question you have about mini-copters and paperclips?
How many small metal paper clips will make the copter fall faster?
Will the paper copter fall faster if I put more paper clips on it?
How many paper clips will make the copter fall the fastest?
4
Research
Take notes on your lab sheet about how the maple seeds work. The mini-copters work the same way.
5
Poll
What fact did you find most interesting?
When the copter has less mass, it spins faster.
It spins because it has wings and little air tornadoes form under them.
Sometimes it falls straight down because it is too heavy.
Wind can carry it to other places.
6
Poll
What is your hypothesis for the mini-copter and paperclip question?
I think (pick 0, 5, or 10) paper clips will fall the fastest.
I think the more paper clips I have, the copter will fall the fastest.
I think the less paper clips I have, the copter will fall the fastest.
7

What are the Independent and Dependent Variables?
The Independent Variable is the amount of paper clips.
The Dependent Variable is the time it takes for the copter to fall.
