I did this to test if i changed the size, the speed at which it falls and how quickly it spins would change too. My experiment was a success. Contrary to the large helicopter, the small one spun much faster, but dropped much slower. ]]> 2020-08-28 13:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704951388 Zattach https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704953992 I switched the blades around so the helicopter now spins clockwise.]]> 2020-08-28 13:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704953992 obroecker507 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704955913 I folded the propellers of my helicopter and made them into tubes, and then It spun 3 times while without the flaps folded it spun 8 times, but it made it flip like 10 times.]]> 2020-08-28 13:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704955913 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704957149 I wanted to make my helicopter smaller to see if that would affect the air time.

(of the stairway) My dependent variable was putting tape on flap C and D.  I thought if I put tape on flaps C and D, it would stay on the air but it was the complete opposite.

From a height of (approx.) 20 feet. The default helicopter spun 3 1/2 times, while the shortened-propeller helicopter spun barely 1/2 of a spin. Although I accidentally cut shorter than I would've like to, I had to go with it because making a new helicopter is too inconsistent with my rookie-level craftsmanship. I theorize that the helicopter spun less with it's propellers shortened than not, because there is less mass to catch the fall, rendering it unable to spin as well.]]> 2020-08-28 13:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704961535 ktrembath554 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704968783 i added folds onto my helicopters wings, by doing so, my helicopter fell in a straighter line. ]]> 2020-08-28 14:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704968783 mschindler452 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704969496 Adding tape to the bottom flaps did not affect how much it spun.]]> 2020-08-28 14:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704969496 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704969515 I increased the length of my propellers and all it did was make it spin 2 times instead of 3 times.]]> 2020-08-28 14:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704969515 https://padlet.com/swagner201/769qe1n8lpccaaej/wish/704971291 I made my helicopter small to see if that would affect how many times that spun around.

I cut out a piece of notebook paper to the size of an index card and made my 1st helicopter out of that. It's fall time was 1.99 seconds. Then I made a second helicopter out of index card material.

The average seconds it took for the helicopter to reach the ground with no spin was 1.61 seconds. And the average amount of time it took the helicopter to reach the ground after spinning it was 1.53 seconds.
