Whirlybird Lesson Plan on Measurement Students will be able to measure to the nearest centimeter and will predict and determine the frequency of an event. Students will participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the Whirlybird lands to the target.Distances are categorized into 10 centimeter intervals and tallied. Students analyze the data to determine the frequency of a parachutist hitting a target area.
