= 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. || 9/28/10 Because it helps you figure out why something happened. The factor to determine the best paper airplane is how long it can stay in flight for. To determine which is the best paper airplane, you have to see how long the paper airplane stays in the air. How long will the paper airplane stay in the air? || (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 airplanes move through the air because of aerodynamics (2) Drag is something that helps slow down the plane (3)Thrust help to not let gravity pull the airplane down (4)Some paper airplanes are pointy, so dont fly them towards other people (5)To launch a paper airplane you have to do more then just have it in any postition, you need to know the angle to throw it in.

My hypothesis is We think 1-2-3 plane will fly the longest in the air || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || Independent variable: Style of planes (1-2-3 plane, stealth, original) Dependent variable: how long the plane would stay in the air for. Constants: the way we threw it, the person who threw it
 * **Lesson 3:** Independent, controlled and dependent variables.

Procedure: make planes, did the three trials, wrote down distances, found the averages || 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 4:** Trials
 * **Lesson 5:** Graph your results and post your video to the wiki. || [[image:p1g2_airplane_graph.jpg width="345" height="297"]] ||
 * **Lesson 6:** Compare your results with those of other students. ||  ||
