Students will get a chance to act as engineers as they design their very own helicopter. Meeting the NGSS standards, 3-5-ETS1.1, 3-5-ETS1.2 and 3-5-ETS1.3, this activity requires that students consider elements such as the drop height and the weight of transported cargo. For measuring the success of their prototypes, students will need to know how to gather data. The activity can also be used to help them refine their data-gathering skills. Finally, teachers could also likely connect this to Grade 5 CCSSM standards by requiring students to record their data in tables and to present it through line plots.
