Learning Goals
Students will be able to explain how wind and shape affect the flight of a kite-copter design.
Students will be able to investigate how different blade lengths and angles change a kite-copter's motion.
Students will be able to design and build a kite-copter prototype using classroom materials and engineering steps.
Students will be able to analyze test results from flying a kite-copter and identify problems to improve.
Students will be able to revise a kite-copter based on peer and teacher feedback.
Students will be able to articulate design choices in an artist statement about their kite-copter.
Products
Original Kite-Copter Prototype with Artist Statement and Process Journal
Each student creates a functional kite-copter prototype and submits a short artist statement with photos or sketches of the design process. The final packet shows intent, testing, revision, and how the design works in wind.
Wind Wonders Showcase Display and Collaborative Presentation
Teams curate a museum-style display that presents each member's kite-copter, process evidence, and key revisions. The group explains design choices, compares test results, and answers visitor questions during the exhibition.
