    The student conducted an experiment to determine which paper airplane design would fly the farthest. They tested a flat top design against a normal paper design, measuring factors like wing span, glide, weight, stability, and balance. Their hypothesis was that designs with greater wing span and a flat shape for gliding would fly farther. They threw different airplane models on a tennis court and recorded the distances, with their best throw being 13.16 meters using a spear-shaped plane. In their conclusion, the student determined that a pointed top and smaller size may have allowed them to achieve even greater distance.

    Date 30 Oct.2014!

    Mrs. Barbers Class!


    Alec Venter!

    !
    Scientific Method!
    !
    Question/Problem:

    Does the shape affect the distance of a paper


    airplane on its distance? Which model will fly the furthest?!
    Flat Top!
    Normal Paper!
    Wing span!
    Glide!
    Weight!
    Stable Throw!
    Balance!

    Hypothesis: I think the main effect is the wing span and a flat airplane will
    make it glide more. Also a aerodynamic shape gives more speed and it flies
    easier through air and makes it go further.!

    Experiment:

    We started out in groups and we each got 2 papers and we


    folded the paper airplanes we were supposed to fold and after we could fold
    anything to go throw it on the tennis courts!

    Materials:

    card board paper A4 paper clipboards rulers pencils


    tape measurer recording sheet !

    Procedure: We will fly the airplanes by throwing them straight ahead and
    incline it too to get hight too. We threw the airplanes on the tennis courts on
    Wednesday between 10 and 11 am. We had a slight breeze from SouthWest
    and it was a bright sunny day. We threw the planes before the test to see
    which one is the best. the spear plane was the best. We threw the spear
    plane 3 times on the real test. our farthest throw was 13.16 meters ! We used
    the tape measurer to measure how far it went. We threw my hand made
    plane that was made out of A4 card board paper (red) and came SECOND !!! !

    Observations and Data:

    Our first trial was 12.14 m. Our second trail


    was 8.70 m. And third was 13.16 m. We came with 13.16 m !!!!

    Conclusion: If we had a pointed top and a smaller plane, I think we


    would've won because Suzanne had all of those things and they won

    because they also had a really good throw.!
