= ﻿ ﻿  Project Report Sarah and Rachel = 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 scientific method is important so that every experiment is done the same.

The best paper plane is the one that will fly the farthest. Does the lenght affect how far the plane flies? || (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) The wing shape is very important (2) Start from the ground up (3)The tail is not needed (4)Everything effects how far the paper plane goes (5)Its good to put a lot of the weigt in the front

My hypothesis is that the plane with the paperclip (weight) in the front will fly farther. || Write out your experimental procedure, adding any steps you feel are necessary. || Question-Will the weight of the paperclip on the plane affect how far the plane will go? Hypothesis-The plane will fly farther when the paperclip is in the front Independant Variable- Where the paperclip is on the plane Dependant Variable-How far you throw it. Constants-The way you fold 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.
 * **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. ||  ||
