Question

I need an experiment that is exciting, stimulating, and that provides opportunities to learn scientific process skills. Would this project work for that?

Community Answer

Creating a paper helicopter is a project geared more toward younger children. From your writing, you seem old enough for something more challenging.

Question

Why do I need to use a paper clip when creating a paper helicopter?

Community Answer

It adds weight to the helicopter, keeping it upright. This is very important, or else the “wings” will flip as it is dropped.

Question

Can I use glue instead of a paper clip?

Community Answer

Yes, it will be better because the glue is stronger than the paper clip, but you need a strong glue.

Question

Can I make this without a paperclip?

Community Answer

Yes, but it will have a chance to flip the wings up, causing it to fall straight down with no helicopter-like movements if you omit the paperclip.
