  • 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.

    Is this science experiment appropriate to teach to 18 - 19-year-olds?

    People of all ages may enjoy this homemade project! It may not hold interest, though.
  • 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.
