**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 if nobody had thought of it then people would still be strugling to figure out how to fly.

I think the best paper plane is the one that has the best rasio of speed, tricks and distence.

The question that our group would like to investigate is does clouring in the plane makes it hevier and if that efficts the flight. || (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) speed (2) length (3) tricks (4) distence (5) design

My hypothesis is that speed will go far but you will need to chuck it up, length will have a affect because the way the plane is made the longer it is the more wind will go under and it will stay up for longer, if it does tricks it will look good for contests but not for distence, if it has good distence then you have a better chance of winning a distence contest, if it has a good design it would be good for a looking contest. || 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. ||  ||
