Things to make and do - art: Paper planes



You will need:



A4 sheets of paper
Scissors
Paper Clips

What to do



The Helicopter

1. Take a strip of paper and cut it down the middle to just short of halfway. Bend the two flaps outwards.

2. Make two small folds in the outer end to give it downwards stability. The amount of spin and how fast it drops depends on the angle of the flaps.

3. Launch by dropping the helicopter from as high as possible.
