= ﻿ ﻿Project Report = Why do you think the scientific method an important process?
 * **Task to be completed** || **Date, student comments, answers to questions and results of task.** ||
 * **Lesson 1:** Introduction and discussion about scientific method.

Decide what factor can be measured to determine which is the 'best' paper airplane.

Write a question that states what your group would like to investigate. || Answer first question

the best plane is the plane that flies the farthest

Answer this question || (length of flight, height of flight, accuracy of flight). Write three to five notes about what you have learnt from your research.
 * **Lesson 2:** Research of different paper planes to determine which variable you will test (length of plane, width of plane, mass etc) that affects the factor you are measuring

Write your hypothesis in the cell at right. || Notes: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

My hypothesis is the thinnest plane will go farthest || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || List of materials and how to make the planes
 * **Lesson 3:** Independent, controlled and dependent variables.

1)Mark where Sean will start from 2)then sean will throw the first plane 3)Zak will measure how far the plane went and wright it down 4)repeat steps 2,3 5)wright down the best throw 6)sean throws the second plane 7)Zak will then measure the distance and wright it down 8)repeat steps 6,7 9)sean throws the third plane 10)Zak measures the distance thrown and wrights down 11)repeat steps 9,10 12)then we are done || Choose three planes and complete five trials for each plane. Collect the data for each trial. Complete the Google form (Result Entry Form) with your results One member of the group should be responsible for filming a student explaining the hypothesis being tested, the actual flight trials or post-flight results. ||  ||
 * **Lesson 4:** Trials
 * **Lesson 5:** Graph your results and post your video to the wiki. ||  ||
 * **Lesson 6:** Compare your results with those of other students. ||  ||

Instructions for our planes!

plane one!

Step one: fold the a4 paper length ways and unfold Step two:fold the top corners down to the center fold Step three:fold the paper length ways again Step four:fold the wings down your done!

plane two!

Step one:fold the a4 paper length ways and unfold Step two:fold the top corners down to the center fold Step three:fold the corners down again so the top of the corners touch the center fold Step four:fold length ways again Step five:fold the wings your done

plane three!

Step one:fold the a4 paper length ways and unfold Step two:fold the top corners down to the center fold Step three:fold the corners down again so the top of the corners touch the center fold Step four: fold the corners again to the center fold step five:fold length ways again step six: fold wings your done
