Paper Airplane Lab QUESTION: How does the weight of a paper airplane affect the distance it travels? You will first need to develop the BEST possible airplane design. Once you have done this, you will create 3 paper airplanes (with this same design) using 3 different types of paper. You can also add objects like pennies/paper clips to change the weight.

Paper Airplane Lab Write-up Hypothesis: If _______________ is used to make a paper airplane, then it will fly a farther distance because __________. Include diagrams of your 3 paper airplanes in your hypothesis.

Paper Airplane Lab Write-up Data: Airplane Type Trial 1 Distance Trial 2 Distance Trial 3 Distance Average Distance (m or cm)

Paper Airplane Lab Write-up Data Analysis: Create a bar graph that compares the paper airplane type (X-Axis) average distance (Y-Axis). Distance (m) Airplane Type

Paper Airplane Lab Write-up Conclusion: Write about the following in PARAGRAPH FORM! (7-10 SENTENCES) Restate the question and hypothesis and state whether your hypothesis was supported by your results or not. Explain your results. Why do you think you got the results that you did? What do these results mean? CITE DIRECT EVIDENCE FROM THE LAB!!!! List one error or any unplanned variables in the experiment that may have been present. Describe what you would change if you did the experiment again.
