Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will understand how drones fly and what makes them so cool!

Materials and Prep

Materials:

• Toy drone (if available)
• Paper
• Coloring materials

Prep:

• Clear a space for flying the toy drone (if available)
• Have coloring materials ready for the activity

Activities

1. Let's Fly a Paper Drone: Make a simple paper drone together. Fold the paper into an airplane shape and see how it flies when you throw it gently.

2. Color Your Dream Drone: Draw and color your dream drone on paper. Think about what features it would have and how it would fly.

Talking Points

• Quotation: "Drones fly like birds, but they have propellers instead of wings. The propellers spin really fast to lift the drone up into the sky."
• Quotation: "Pilots use remote controls to tell drones where to go. It's like playing with a cool flying toy that can do amazing things!"
• Quotation: "Drones have cameras too! They can take pictures and videos from high up in the sky. It's like having a bird's eye view."
• Quotation: "Drones need batteries to fly. Just like how we need food to have energy, drones need their batteries to power their propellers."
• Quotation: "Remember, safety first! Drones are fun to fly, but we need to be careful and make sure we don't fly them near people or buildings."
