= ﻿ ﻿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. || * It helps you conduct experiments in an organized way and answer some questions you may have. (length of flight, height of flight, accuracy of flight). Write three to five notes about what you have learnt from your research.
 * The factor that we think would determine the best plane is size.
 * What size will be the best for keeping an airplane in the air? ||
 * **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 humidity affects the preformance of the airplanes inside. (2) Paper airplanes use the same flight techniques as regular airplanes. (3) The weight of an airplane does not effect the flight as much as the design does. (4) The smaller the airplane the longer it will stay in the air. (5) Every airplane has a piont where it balances, called the "center of gravity".

My hypothesis is I believe the the smallest plane will fly the most time in the air. || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || * Independant variable- size 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.
 * Dependant variable- how long the plane stays in the air
 * Controlled variable- style of the plane and weight of 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. ||  ||
