= ﻿ ﻿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. || I think the Scientific Method is an important process because without it Scientists wouldnt know what steps to take to figure out a problem. For example, Scientists wouldnt know whether to make a hypothosis, or a prediction.

Would there be a difference if we ran and threw the paper airplane to standing in place and throwing the airplane?

Will wider wings make the paper plane fly farther? || (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) Ttheir function is engineering and aerodynamics (2) The humidity outside can affect the flight inside (3) Lighter the better (4) The longer the wings the better flight (5) Total of four forces

My hypothesis is the londest plane will fly the farthest || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || Question- Will the length of the planes affect the distance it will fly? Hypothesis- I feel the longer the plane the farther it will go. Independant Variable- length of the planes. Controlled Variable- how far it flies. Constant- The design of the plane will always stay the same. || 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 3:** Independent, controlled and dependent variables.
 * **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. ||  ||
