= ﻿ ﻿ Project Report Alicia & Ashley  = 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. || 9/29/10 The Scientific Method is a series of steps that Scientists follow to solve problms That the diffrent type of paper effects 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) paper air planes have 4 forces (2) the 4 forces are gravity, thrust, drag, lift. (3) all forces must be balanced in order for a plane to fly its best (4) smaller planes fly further (5) the heaver the plane the faster it goes and they have better controle

My hypothesis is that the heaver the paper is the farther it will fly || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || the differnt type of paper || 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. ||  ||
