SCIENCE PROJECT

Which paper air plane will fly farther depending on the type of paper it is made from..

Big Questions

I think that paper air plane A. will fly the farthest because it is the lightest

Hypothesis

How far the plane fly’s depends no the (weight) of the plane and it’s (glider).

In order to make the planes fly at the same speed you must make a (launcher).

The planes must be launched in a wide open spaces so they can fly to there best abilities

All paper air planes are arrow dynamic. Photo paper is the best paper to make a

paper air plane.

Interesting Facts

Experiment How fast I through

them. The weight of the

plane. How big the paper

was.

Materials Plane A. printing paper

Plane B. construction paper

Plane C. matt photo paper

Plane D. glossy photo paper

Rubber band Plane E. cardboard

Launcher

Steps  First: You need to make more then one

paper air plane but the paper air planes most be made from different types of paper.

Second: You most make a launcher so that the planes fly at the same speed.

Third: You need to launch the planes. Whichever plane fly’s the farthest will be the answer to your question.

The Launcher

Experiment Demonstration

OBSERVATIONS

The planes did fly differently because they didn’t weigh the same.

All observations are on the data. Pictures of the experiment are posted above.

Analysis Of Data  Did the experiment test my hypothesis?

Yes it did test it. How do I know?

I found my hypothesis to be wrong by doing the experiment

Conclusion

No, my hypothesis was not correct. I would have liked to do it outside with no walls

blocking the flight of the planes. One of the new questions I have is what would

be the answer to my question if I did it outside? - Would it change or would it be the same?

I got the idea from my friends learning lab I would like to thank my mom and dad for helping me finish the project. I also want to thank Miss Crane for letting me change my project. There are a few other set people would like to thank is the learning lab for giving me a easier one than the first one. Thank you !
