Simple Machines:First Flights

Today we talked more about electronics and how they were powered. We then turned our discussion to wind power, better for the Earth. And we made "Twirly Birds" This simple toy helicopter twirls in a spiral as it drops, using the air and it's blades to help slowly lower it to the ground! THE POWER OF WIND!!


Here is a video of Peter-Leo's twirly bird and just a warning...I can't figure out how to turn the video right side up...so you just have to tilt your head! ENJOY!

Here are some pictures of me and Peter-Leo doing our first flight!
