Paper Airplanes
Research:
Thrust is the forward movement of the plane. ... After this, paper airplanes are really gliders,
converting altitude to forward motion. Lift comes when the air below the airplane wing is
pushing up harder than the air above it is pushing down. It is this difference in pressure that
enables the plane to fly.
Hypothesis: I think the pointy nose airplane will fly further because it is the standard plane/glider
Experiment steps:

Conclusion:
Now I know that my prediction was mostly correct. I learned that the shape of the nose matters
on a paper airplane.
