Take Hands-on Learning to New Heights!
Bring STEAM to life in your classroom as students design, build, and fly their own quadcopters! This interactive project encourages collaboration and critical thinking while introducing key science and engineering concepts in an engaging, real-world context. Students investigate the principles of lift and weight, experiment with electricity and voltage, and develop problem-solving skills as they troubleshoot and refine their designs. Plus, they’ll analyze their findings through data collection and graphing—building essential skills that connect to math and science standards.
Key Concepts
Battery discharge behavior, Drone, Flight control board, Forces, Lift, LiPo battery, Motor, Newton’s Third Law, Propeller, Roll, Throttle, Transmitter, Yaw
Essential Question
How can we explore and investigate the forces that affect drone flight?

Summary of Standards
Grades 6-8
Common Core ELA
Students will learn new content-specific vocabulary, engage in collaborative discussions, compose text to examine a topic and convey ideas, and pose and respond to specific questions with elaboration.
Common Core Math
Students will summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, display numerical data, and informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities.
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an objects motion depends on the sum of the forces of the object and the mass of the object. They will explore forces and motion, analyze and interpret data, and use mathematics and computational thinking.
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
Students will participate in student-led discussions by eliciting and considering suggestions from other group members, taking notes, and identifying points of agreement and disagreement. They will make inferences and use evidence to support understanding. Students will represent and interpret numerical data.
