USC-Ithaca scholars testing if short or long wings help the helicopter fall faster.
Air has force.  It can push.- Isaac
If you put a paper towel in a cup, turn it over, and put it down in water, it won't get wet!  This is because there is air in the cup and it saves the paper towel from getting wet. - Keagan

Things fall  because of gravity.- Alex
Gravity is a pull.- Sean
Air resistance slows things down when they fall, like a parachute.- Sean

Helicopters with a little air resistance fall faster.-Ayanna

The narrow and short wings fall faster because they take up less space.- Keon and Dane

We can put paper clips on a helicopter to make it fall faster.  The paper clips make it heavier.- Bryce and Danniel

Gravity makes stuff falls down because gravity is a force that pulls stuff down and air resistance pushes up. Thanks for commenting Ethan!
