Paper helicopters

We made small and large paper helicopters using cardboard and a paper clip.We found out that the shape of the helicopter rotor blades make it spin when dropped from a height.Adding more paper clips changes the spin!The small one reaches the ground first!

Spring is in the air!

Our Spring display

Happy Chinese New Year!
