STEM Inventions: Helicopter Kit
- Grades: 3–8
- Number of Students: 10, 30, 100
- Number of Lessons: 1
- Hours of Content: Approximately 1 hour
Highlights:
- Classroom STEM Project – Rubber Band Helicopter Kit: Students build and fly their own rubber band-powered helicopters. Activity runs in a single class period with minimal teacher setup. Designed for classrooms, after-school programs, summer camps, and libraries.
- Hands-On Science Concepts: Students directly observe potential and kinetic energy, lift, propulsion as they build and test their helicopters. Allows for open-ended experimentation with different paper shapes and sizes to find the best-performing design.
- Easy-to-Follow Instructions Included: Step-by-step illustrated guide walks students through each build stage. Includes troubleshooting tips and teacher notes to reduce interruptions during the activity.
- Durable, Classroom-Tested Components: Propellers and hardware are built to withstand repeated use. Designed to produce consistent results across all student groups, reducing failed builds and troubleshooting time.
