Talking with Mrs. Grotojan about how friends made successful helicoptors.

Fly, helicoptor, fly!

Every Thursday, our class gets a chance to work with Mrs. Grotojan in the Big Studio. The Big Studio has a large number of materials and resources different than the studio in our classroom and the kids always love going for a visit. Today, Mrs. Grotojan and the kids made helicoptors and tested them. They practiced measuring where to make their special cut with a ruler and weighted them with one, two, or three paperclips. Some friends’ helicoptors flew, some seemed to glide through the air, and some didn’t seen to fly at all!  During our discussion, we talked about why we supposed the helicoptors did the things they did and what changes we could make.
