Completing Helicopters

Today students competed to determine which helicopter design flew the longest.  It was a close contest in many classes.  The winners were rewarded with a prize.  Afterwards students wrote the conclusion for the helicopter lab and answered the questions on page 14 #1-8 in their composition books.
