Space!

Needed: A4 sheet of paper per student

This event discusses the path of the spaceship travelling to Mars, the landing on Mars of Perseverance and asks students to run an experiment making a helicopter from A4 paper. It includes the video of the landing from NASA. The notes support the recording and contains extension ideas. It is expected that you will want to pause the recording so the running time does not reflect the length of the session.
