2. Question
   Does changing the type of paper of a paper airplane affects how far it will go?

3. Rationale
    We're doing this project because we wanted to see if the type of papers affects how far a paper airplane flies.

4. Background Research Notes: Hard paper is to hard to fold.
Light paper like tracing paper is too frail.
Best thing to do is a experiment with different weights of paper.
A heavier plane flies faster and further then a light plane.
Be careful not to make the plane too heavy.
Center of gravity is the point of the plane so that you can balance it on your finger. The reason it is important to have a good center of gravity because it makes it more stable, fly faster, and less likely to crash.
A plane with a bigger body and smaller wings will fly faster then one with big wings and a small body.

6. Hypothesis
   If the weight of paper affects how far the airplane goes, then the heaviest type of paper will go the farthest distance.

7. Materials Construction Paper Cardstock Paper Copy Paper Meter Stick
Foot Long Stick
Pencil

8. Procedures 1. Get Copy Paper, Construction Paper, and Cardstock
2. Make some corrections
3. Assemble the papers into a paper airplane
4. Get a Meter stick, Foot long ruler, and a pencil
5. Go out side and mark the place to put the ruler
6. One person throws the paper airplane, one measures, and one collects data.
7. Repeat step 6 three times.
8.  Analyze  
9. Record Data

12. Results & Interpretation
The result of the test showed three of the papers, the Construction paper went the outermost distance, followed by Cardstock paper then Copy paper.  

13. Conclusion
In conclusion, changing the type of paper did, in fact, affect how far a paper airplane flew. Our Hypothesis was incorrect because the cardstock paper was too heavy and gravity was weighing it down. If the experiment were to change, we would change what paper we used.
