Welcome to the Bug Copters activity. I’m Bonnie Murray, your Education Specialist,
and I’m going to connect NASA and racing to give your students real world application of
the STEM topics in your curriculum. As we’ve seen, moving air can be a real pick me up,
or it can be a huge drag! Race car designers need to reduce drag as much as possible to allow for the fastest
speeds, and the best gas mileage. Experiment with the effects of drag using this
simple paper copter. Visit the link to access the resource guide with complete directions and a list of materials.
