Learn how to create a glider using common household items, which not only flies well but also helps answer scientific questions about lift, thrust, gravity, and drag.

Helicopters are acted on by the same four forces of flight as airplanes. Lift and thrust are still needed to overcome gravity and drag, but they do it a little bit differently. The pattern included with this activity will let you make your own simple paper helicopter so you can explore rotation as it falls through the air.
