Students learn the science behind quadcopters and how the forces created are used to control movement. In doing so, Newton’s third law of motion, torque, and the fundamentals of rotary flight are introduced. Made for a middle school audience (grades 6 through 8), the guide includes comprehension questions, activities, and a glossary of scientific terms used in the text. This activity can also be completed without the activities, allowing it to be used as a standalone, informational text.
