Paper Airplane Experiment - Weekly Blog 08/31-09/06




Summary:

Different kinds of paper made into paper airplanes fly different distances. It depends on their weight, air-resistance, how people throw it, wind, weather, etc. If you don't have a fair test (for example, flying each paper airplane each with a certain force), you won't get accurate results. Once you are done with your experiment, immediately write down your results. After you are done gathering your results, analyze it, see if it matches your hypothesis. If it doesn't, then change your hypothesis and you experiment again. If your results do match your hypothesis share it, or else there is no point in actually making the scientific investigation at all. 

SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information:

My team and I completed a paper airplane experiment which tested which type of paper flew the farthest as a paper airplane. We obtained the information by making experiments and measuring how far the paper airplanes went. We evaluated our data by discussing the results that we got during the experiment. We also Communicated our information by putting our Question, then a Hypothesis, to 
our Results and Conclusion on a poster. When we were putting our data on a poster, we discussed how we should put them in order.
