Students you will write this on page 1 under the heading ‘Scientific Process’ Scientific Method Steps and Definitions: – Purpose: State the problem – Research: find out about the topic – Hypothesis: predict the outcome to the problem.

Continue writing notes on the left side – Experiment: develop a procedure to test the hypothesis – Analysis: record the results of the experiment – Conclusion: compare the hypothesis to the experiment’s conclusion.

Continue writing notes on the left side : Paper Airplanes Write “Paper Airplanes Experiment” and underline it. The next slide has a lot of information….. You will only be taking notes today, so write all notes thoroughly and completely to help you complete our activities on Wednesday and Thursday

Purpose: How can I make this airplane fly farther. Research: I know that paper airplanes fly better when: they have wing flaps; I use tape; and they have some kind of “nose.” Hypothesis: I think that airplanes with pointed noses will fly farther than ones with square noses Experiment: 1)Make 2 paper airplanes that are mostly the same. 2)Make one nose square. 3)Throw each plane 10 times. 4)Measure the distance they go. 5)Make a graph. Analysis: My graph shows that the plane with the square nose went farther than the pointed nose one… Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong. I thought that the pointed-nose airplane would go farther, but actually, the square-nose one went farther.
