**Hawkesdale P12 College Students**
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 it's important to test and record your experiments.

I think the best paper plane is the one that travels the furthest.

The question that our group would like to investigate is dose the weight of the plane effect the distance the plane will fly? || (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) Width of the plane (2)Length of the plane (3)Mass of the plane (4)Shape of wings (5)Width of the wings

My hypothesis is that......... Our planes can fly better indoors than out!!! :) || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. ||  || 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. ||
