Description
These balloon-powered helicopters are great for outdoor or indoor fun (if you have high ceilings). Simply snap the blades on the hub, place the balloon on the collar, inflate the balloon, and you're ready for lift off! When you release, air travels through the blades, causing them to spin. Lift is created and off it goes! We've gotten these to fly over 20 feet high. Blow up the balloon again to relaunch. Colors may vary.Video

NGSS
This product will support your students' understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), as shown in the table below.Elementary | Middle School | High School | ||
3-PS2-2 Students can use the Balloon Helicopter to make observations and/or measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. | MS-PS2-2 Students can use the Balloon Helicopter to plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. | HS-PS2-1 Students can use the Balloon Helicopter to investigate and analyze data to support the claim that Newton's second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass and its acceleration. |
MS-PS2-2
HS-PS2-1
When the balloon is inflated and released with the Balloon Helicopter, observable and measurable results help students in their understanding of forces.
3-5-ETS1-3Students can use the Balloon Helicopter to investigate many problems regarding forces and interactions. Fascinating trials to study flight, gravity, force and motion. Newton's Laws of Motion in action.
