= ﻿ ﻿Project Report Alysia, Halie, Kayla  = Why do you think the scientific method is 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. || 1. The scientific method is important process because it helps us find information and answer questions.

2.If its lighter it will stay in the air longer.

3.Does the wieght of the plane affect the flight of the plane? || (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)The longest flight was 20.9 seconds (2)The smallest paper airplane 2.9 mm (3)A paper airplane in space would float forever until something hits it (4)A paper airplane throw may vary the best is a vertical upward launch (5)The humidity outside can affect the performance an paper airplane

My hypothesis is if the plane is lighter it will go farther. || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || Independent: The type of paper used Controlled:The weight of the plane Dependent:The amount of time each plane stays in the air || 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. ||  ||
