Copter Engineering can be a fun science activity for people of all ages. We provide these generalizations as guidelines about what children at different ages might do during Copter Engineering explorations at the Discovery Center’s Experiment Station, in the kitchen at home, or at school. Listed below are science and technology process skills that children may be practicing during their explorations. Please remember: each child develops at a different rate, so some children in each age group may be able to do some of the things described in the age group before or after their own.
How might infants explore Copter Engineering

Observe - Infants
Infants enjoy watching copters fall and spin to the ground.
Although infants have not yet developed the fine motor skills needed to release a copter on demand, they do enjoy throwing copters and watching them fall.
Adults should closely monitor infants during this activity to ensure they keep the scissors and paper clips out of their mouths.
