=    ﻿ ﻿ 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. || The process of asking, answering, and solving problems and questions.

The plane that can fly the farthest.

How do aerodynamics 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) Long tails give good stability. (2) Narrow wing span increases the distances. (3) Fold the back of the your wings fo lift. (4) Most of the weight should be in the front of the plane. (5) The plane shouldn't be to wide.

My hypothesis is a thin plane with it's wings folded up will go the farthest. || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || The independent varible is the planes aerodynamic style. The dependent varible is the distance the plane goes. The control varible is the starting place from where you throw it, also the type of the paper, size of the paper, and how hard you throw it. || 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. ||  ||
