= ﻿ ﻿Project Report Lenora, Kalee, and Kayse  = 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. || The scientific method is important because it helps conduct an expement easier. You can play around with the order and steps to make it the way you want it to be making it easier on the experiment. The factor that can be measured to determine which is the "best" airplane is how far it flys. We would like to investigate how the weight of the plane affects how the plane flys. || (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) Paper airplanes first started in China about 2,000 years ago. (2) They begun before real planes did. (3) The first plane competition contest was announced on December 12, 1996. (4) A plane that adheres to the principles of flight may still be unstable. (5) The longest paper airplane flight was 27.6 seconds.

My hypothesis is: The plane with the lightest mass will fly the farthest. || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || **__Independent Variable-__** Weight __**Dependent Variable-**__ How hard you throw it The plane that is being made is based upon the mass. It is to test it to see what affect mass has on the flight of the plane. 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.
 * __Controlled Variable-__** Where we throw the plane. ||
 * **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. ||  ||
