Investigating helicopter seeds in Year 3 Mrs H/Miss C’s class 🌱🍃

We have been learning about trees and their seeds in our Autumn topic. We asked the question ‘What makes a helicopter seed fall faster than other seeds?’ We decided to investigate this by making our own paper helicopters and testing them in different conditions. 🌱

We added extra weight using a paper clip 📎

We dropped one from a higher place 🔝

We tested them when it was windy outside 💨

We had so much fun being investigators! 😃🔍
