airplane experiment

1. The Question: Which of the three airplanes will go the farthest?
2. Backround research: Paper airplanes are oragami planes that you try to fly through the air.Last year I built a paper airplane and flew it but it didn't go very far. I've never built a good airplane.

3. Hypothesis: I think the tripi airplanes will go  the farthest.
4. Experiment: In the experiment we made 3 different kinds of paper airplanes and then we went into the hall and measured how far they flew. Our materials were paper, markers for the ft that the plane flew, and a tape measure.
Data: 

 

 



A "variable" is a word for a quantity or condition that can change. Variables can be continuous or they can be discrete. Continuous variables can have many values . For example, time is continuous and can have many values. Plant growth, amount of sunlight or amount of water flowing are all continuous variables. Discrete variables are ones that have a few, distinct values. Something can be either on or off, present or absent, or have only several countable possibilities. A kitchen light can be on or off or a person may have blue, brown, green or hazel eyes.

observation: I observed that the red planes flew the farthest.If we had been outside or there had been wind the ending would have been different.

conclusion: I enjoyed this experiment  even though my plane flew the 2nd shortest. I know that my hipothesis was correct.
